scenes from our Father's Day celebration....

Fathers day at IOOF was alot of fun. We smoked ribs outside on the grill and had a great Fathers Day lunch. Our fathers were also presented with a gift wrapped by the Ladies of Residents Council! The men all declared that they had a finger licking good time! Best ribs ever!

Happy 4th of July from IOOF

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie

Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

Chorus (2x)

Happy Mother's Day

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

Happy Mother's Day to all of our IOOF Mother's!

Happy Earth Day from Earth Friendly IOOF!!!!!

Mardi Gras comes to IOOF

These days it seems we can only pause briefly to post all of our festivities. As you can see, we won't let any reason to celebrate and have a good time pass us by.

Valentine's Day celebrated at IOOF!

We celebrated Valentine's Day in style with a scrumptious breakfast. Homemade pancakes with your choice of fruit toppings or the traditional maple syrup. Lets don't wait too long before we do this again.
