The  Rebekah Creed
A part of the Rebekah Creed is as follows:-
 FRIENDSHIP is like a golden chain that ties our hearts together
 LOVE is one of the most precious gifts, the more you give, the more you receive.
 TRUTH is the standard by which we value people. It is the foundation of our society.

Golden Star Lodge, No. 101, was instituted October 10, 1872. Meetings are held 1st and 3rd Monday, September to June, at Columbus Hall, 19 John Street. Please use above contact phone number and e-mail address.
The Work of the Lodge Members
There is only ONE word to summarize this -- COMMUNITY.  Assistance may be given to members, friends, all who need help. Two special projects are Knight's Table for the homeless and the Odd Fellows & Rebekahs Senior Citizens Home at Barrie, Ontario.  Many other projects in the community are assisted as well.
Social  and Fun Time!!!
Christmas  for the Kids is an eagerly awaited annual event, complete with gifts, Santa Claus, children of the members  who have become close friends. This very
special day comes complete with happy noises of children having fun!

One never knows whether it is a visit to another lodge, picnic in the park, a bus trip -- there is also the feeling, if new in a community, there are many friends!

A World-Wide Organization
Branches of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Rebekah Lodges  may be found in most parts of the world, with visitation between lodges enjoyed by all.
