NATIONAL MARCHING CLUB

Greetings are extended to my brothers and sisters from the National Marching Clubs of the Grand United Order Of Odd Fellows In America And Jurisdictions!

We wish you God's blessings and pray all is well.

The National Marching Clubs are presently undergoing a "make-over" and need your help and support.

We are in the process of rebuilding, recruiting and reviving our membership to restore the Marching Clubs to prominence once again, as an "integral and vibrant" Branch of our Order.

We solicit and seek your support. We solicit your ideas, spirit and membership to make this process a success!

Marching Clubs are the "morale builders" and "spirit lifters" of our Order. Let us LIFT spirits and BOOST the morale in our Grand Order once again!

I encourage Area Directors, District Grand Masters, District Grand Most Noble Governors, heads of subordinate lodges and households and all members to consider and support the Marching Clubs in this endeavor.

If anyone needs info on how to start a marching club or general information please contact me by e-mail (<a href="mailto:langston15@verizon.net">langston15@verizon.net</a>) or by phone at (302)598-4356.

Yours in FLT and PHP

Brother Leroy C. Langston
