We came, we saw, we gave them water!
It was warm today; we gave out 100 bottles of water and 100 goody bags full of great Odd Fellow information and goodies for the kids. Some either drove up to us or stopped by and we talked to them about Odd Fellowship. We got some leads and hope to see them again soon. Greg Lundy in red provided the water and ice and IOOF Aaron Lodge 412 labels for the bottles. Victor Vogt came by to assist.
