The Lady Harmony Rebekah Lodge #86, Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Tamaqua, recently had an official visit by the Rebekah Assembly of Pennsylvania.
Anna Smith of Boalsburg, president of the Rebekah Assembly, spoke of her project and her past as a Rebekah. There were 20 members in attendance.
The Rebekah Lodge was started in 1851 and grew rapidly; it was one of the first formal groups for women. Lady Harmony Rebekah Lodge was started in Tamaqua in 2010 and meets at 7 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of each month.
Anyone is interested in joining can contact the Lodge on Facebook at “IOOF Harmony & Lady Harmony Lodge Tamaqua.”
