Lodge Activities
Lodge members enjoy social events that promote friendships, fun and travel to interesting places. In addition, there are annual events with other lodges at statewide and district events, including the annual Christmas party, a picnic at Camp NEOFA and the annual statewide Rebekahs gathering.
Each lodge works to support local charities or individual members in their own communities. This may come in the form of donations, such as gathering food or other necessary items for local charity, or celebrating a member’s special milestone.
Through their fundraising efforts, the Rebekahs also contribute to annual nursing awards for Maine high school students as well as to educational loans for youth throughout the state.
National & International Efforts
The support from the Odd Fellowship of Maine does not stop within Maine’s borders. As part of the World Wide Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs of Maine are involved in, or contribute to, a variety of international causes, including the World Hunger and Disaster Relief fund, the World Eye Bank and Visual Research Foundation, and the Arthritis Foundation.
The Rebekahs and the Odd Fellows also support a new orphanage project being built in Battam Bang in Cambodia. During decades of war, thousands of Cambodian children lost their parents, and because of the lingering precarious economic and social situation in the country, many parents are not in a position to look after their children. The "Odd Fellows Village" consists of 15 family homes, a social center, a medical facility and kindergarten facility that will house approximately 150 orphaned and AIDS affected children newborn to age 12.
Theta Rho for girls
The Rebekahs offer a wonderful environment for young women to develop strong values and learn how meaningful giving to others can be. Theta Rho members have their own projects and ceremonies, and are mentored by Rebekahs.
