| What Next? |
Delegates returning home are excited, exhausted, and homesick for
their new best friends. Before the euphoria wears off with school
and other activities starting, write an article for your local
news media, share your story with the folks who sponsored you,
and tell your friends and relatives, especially those younger
who may be able to apply in the next year or two.
Let your teachers, counselors, and other school officials know
about your trip. Not just the fun stuff (you will have had lots)
but also the things you learned. This will assist your sponsors
when they are working to get information out to future applicants.
When applying for advanced educational institutions and jobs (now
and in the future) having been selected as a delegate on the UN
Pilgrimage looks great on a resume. |
| Alumni |
We have an alumni database of delegates and tour leaders. You will
be added to it. Please keep in touch. We do not publish the names,
however we can facilitate reunions with friends for whom you have
lost addresses. This only works if you keep us updated with your
current name, address, email, etc. |
| Networking |
Keep in contact with your tour buddies, your tour leaders, your
sponsors, and this program. You never know when, how or where your
paths may cross in the future or when you may need or be able to
provide a helping hand. |
| Continue the Legacy |
The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs United Nations Pilgrimage for Youth
was started in 1949 by a few far sited people. Over the ensuing
years it has been dependent not just on funds but the hard work
of many dedicated people. Now it is not as “fashionable” to
belong to fraternal organizations as it used to be. Even when there
are sources of funds for this program, we still need people. We
need YOU, your parents, relatives, and friends to be able to provide
this opportunity for others. The best way you and your family can
say thanks is to join some branch of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows. Continue the Legacy. |
