e When you became Rebekah
you assumed the responsibility of
supporting your lodge and its OFF,
fcers. Your Noble Grand is only
bone person. She needs the support
of all of her officers and lodge
members to help her through the
nyear. AS a Rebekah, how are you
bassuming your responsibility? The
olodge meets the first and third
aThursday of the mouths and every
one is expected to attend these
meetings. Not only when we have a
especial meeting. IL is hard for your
Noble Grand to conduct meeting
when she is almost alone. The lodge
yis expected to remember its men,
bers who are sick or in distress.
I'VE ask the members to remember
Jthe lodge.
