Independent Order of Odd Fellows of West VirginiaWith Odd Fellows and Rebekahs in West Virginia ~ It's Almost Heaven! |

Story line. District # 4, Rebekah Assembly
of West Virginia recently held it's semi-Annual
Convention. District 4
is one of the few conventions which meet twice a year.
During this convention each of the lodges of the district made
their report to the convention. The lodges of the
district raised funds which were distributed throughout the state in
many
programs of the order and other groups which help citizens of
the state of WV.
This was the fourth and last Convention of the current District
Deputy, Pamela Sue Haymond, who will be appointed
this October to a state Assembly office. During her term,
she has done many programs which helped the order and her
final project will be to present the convention with cookbooks which
were recipes given by the members of the Convention
and the past presidents of the Assembly. She has
also arranged for a Rocking Chair from Cracker Barrel,
which will
be drawn at the next convention.
She was very creative in her "Frog" which she created
and dressed in Rebekah Garb and was a blown up machine with
an electric Fan. She displayed it at each lodge she
visited and at each Convention. The Frog was the Official
Emblem of
the president of the Rebekah Assembly. It was also
displayed at the Rebekah Assembly.
The Fall convention will be held at Harmony 51, in Morgantown
on October 31. All conventions are open to
the public
and if you would be interested in becoming a Rebekah, a
visit to a convention may be the item you are looking.
