The Oddfellow Lodges in the District represent about 400 Odd- fellows who are ably assisted in functions by the Rebekahs (the women's Lodge of the Oddfellows) The Lodges in this District date back about 100 years with the original Oddfellow Order beginning 167 years ago in Baltimore, Maryland with a group of 5 men who started helping people on their own. The order is a benevolent organiza- tion dedicated to educate the or- phans; care for widows and help in Scugog Institute by Penny Kutlik The summer months seemed to race on by us and here we are back together again. It was fitting, therefore, that the theme for this meeting held September 18, was "Reunion." Roll call required a class picture. We had a great time trying to trace the pictures to the people they belonged to. Christina Prentice who attended both a fami- ly reunion in Minnesota and a school reunion in Saskatchewan told us about her experiences this summer. Reunions are great fun but as Christina says "if you don't think you're aging, go to a reunion and see how old our former classmates look!" Robin Chandler was presented with a gold 4-H Bell for finishing six (6) units in 4-H for County Honours. Congratulations Robin! Anne Chandler and Helen Hortop will again instruct the 4-H members. We also received a 'thank-you' for our donation to the Port Perry Fair and a certificate. The Women's Institute's Ontario Convention will be held November 5 and 6 at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto and this year Lilo Czilok will be sent as our delegate. And guess what' The Institute won second prize at the Port Perry fair for their 'Old Fashioned Christmas' display All those who helped with the display certainly "did us proud 7 Thanks' The interim report on the Auction shows a good profit was made but the question was raised as to whether it was worth the tremen- dous effort made by some members As we wish to use this money for im- provements to the hall the Hall Committe will be approached to see what they wish to improve and to give them some of our ideas. We received a report on our Scholarship Fund and a letter will be sent to the high schools attended by Scugog Islanders to get lists of) names for thos eligible. A new member is needed for this commit- tee as one member wishes to withdraw.

Ducks receive a boost According to Steve Hillier and Mike Fowler, co-chairmen of the newly organized Port Perry com mittee of Ducks Unlimited, folks from Port Perry and surrounding areas interested in participating in a practical conservation program will be given an opportunity to do so this November. As local representatives for the in- ternational waterfowl conservation organization, Mr. Hillier said, "When it comes to conservation, there are a lot of good people out there with good intentions who would really like to make a positive difference in how wildlife 1s perpetuated on this continent, but just do not know how to go about it = He went on to say that he volunteered to help Ducks Unlimited because of the organiza tion's impressive track record Since 1938, this private, non-profit organization has constructed more than 2,100 wetland projects throughout Canada As a result. Ducks Unlimited has reserved over three million habitat acres and created more than 13.000 miles of crucial nesting shoreline for waterfowl. Mr. Fowler, as an avid fisherman and hunter, noticed a great deal of work going on in marshes near the Port Perry area When he question ed what was going on he discovered some amazing facts As he put it, "Over the last three years Ducks Unlimited has spent over $119,000 00 on six wetland projects within 25 miles of Port Perry and most of them within 5 miles | was so im pressed ny this non-profit organza tion that I wanted to be involved Concluding his remarks about the importance of Ducks Unlimited con servation effort, Mr Fowler stated. "Our committee will soon be calling on conservation minded individuals within the community to help sup port our Ducks Unlimited fund rais ing banquet scheduled for November 14, 1985 at the Im: maculate Conception Hall on Highway 7A, Port Perry We're go ing to have a lot of good food, good prizes and good fun for everyone and those who attend can rest assured the dollars we raise are go ing to a very good cause " The co-chairmen said they would be happy to talk to anyone in terested in Ducks Unlimited's grassroots conservation program and they can be reached at 985-2074 or 985-8411 respectively
