Area 7

Have you ever wanted to visit the United Nations and meet with representatives from around the world? Would you like to go to the top of the Empire State Building, visit the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and see a Broadway play? The Odd Fellows & Rebekahs are fraternal lodges which sponsor a trip to the East Coast each year for high school sophomores and juniors. To win the trip, students must write an essay and give a speech.

The winners will spend 2 weeks in July touring the East Coast. This includes Niagara Falls, Washington D.C., Gettysburg, Philadelphia, and perhaps even Ottawa! Five nights are spent in downtown Manhattan. To learn the details of this program, click on the links at the left of this page. If you want to compete, the first thing is an essay which is due November 14, 2008. Please read "Basic Requirements", "Essay Information", and "Speak-off Information" very carefully.
