Publication of Borough Park lodge #409 The Three links Fraternity, IOOF
We meet at 8 pm. Location: Temple Shalom in Mill Basin Brooklyn. For those keeping score, our Next meeting is Monday April 20, 2026
To be relevant: In an effort to bolster attendance, create interest and garner new members, our Noble Grand Dr. Warren Wexelman has outlined a bold plan to bring scholarship money to local area students. Those students who excel should be recognized for their outstanding efforts. We applaud this initiative and look forward to more of what it means to be relevant.
Memorial Service for Members who Have Passed on: We will join Rockville Center Lodge, Mineola-Pacific Lodge and Peter Cooper Lodge for the annual Memorial Service. Please note members of the family of our deceased members are encouraged to join us as names are read aloud in keeping with our desire to always keep in mind members who have passed on. This elegant service will take place at 7:30 pm at Rockville center Lodge 5/6/26.
The Educational Foundation of the IOOF: If you haven’t heard, the are a number of new scholarships available to students from families affiliated with the IOOF. Come to our next meeting for a review.
Opinions, discourse, and empowerment: It is very much worth noting that a well- spoken individual will always have our attention. Our support may go elsewhere but we are inclined at the very least, to listen. A clear, concise message will move people. An attorney with a limp argument has little hope for judicial intervention. The leaders among us all speak well. If they spoke poorly, they would not lead for us for long. The art of public speaking is not hereditary. There is no medicinal supplement nor magic potion. It is stand on your two feet and deliver. If you are not quite there, then you need to come to our meetings to practice.
