We are proud to congratulate eight new members who successfully completed all of the degree work. It was an honor to witness their dedication as they learned the traditions, lessons, signs, and symbols of our Order.
A heartfelt thank you goes to Kenny Spence for helping teach the class and sharing his knowledge of the signs, symbols, and lessons of Odd Fellowship. We also want to recognize John Lizenby for taking care of the meal and making sure everyone was well fed throughout the day.
Special appreciation goes to Randal Applegate and Mike Davisson, who handled the clerical responsibilities, issued the dues cards, and presented each new member with their Three Links pin. The hard work of John, Randal, and Mike was instrumental in preparing for and ensuring the success of this Degree Day.
We also extend our thanks to our own Grand Warden, Ken King, who worked behind the scenes managing the technical aspects of the degree work and helping everything run smoothly from start to finish.

A special congratulations goes to Caitlin Keith on making history as the first woman ever to be voted into membership and complete the degree work at Scottsburg Lodge #555. This is a monumental milestone in the history of our lodge and a moment that will be remembered for years to come. We are proud to welcome Caitlyn into our Odd Fellow family and congratulate her on this historic achievement.
Congratulations to our newest brothers and Sister! We look forward to watching each of you continue your journey in Odd Fellowship as we live by the principles of Friendship, Love, and Truth.
Friendship • Love • Truth 💙💛❤️
