/Watchdog Committee

I apologise for being extremely rude and reorganising your user-space. My "excuse" is that I'm trying to be "helpful". If you feel that rather than being "helpful", I'm being an interfering busybody, then just say the word and I'll put things back how they were, and apologise profusely and sincerely.

For your information, your "user talk" page is intended to be the place where people can communicate with you. I felt very uncomfortable trying to leave you a message on this page when it was clearly occupied with the basis for a new wikipedia page, so, in my infinite wisdom, (yes, I know, if I have any wisdom at all, it most certainly isn't infinite), I "rearranged" things. In case you're unsure, the previous contents are at /Watchdog Committee, which is shorthand for User talk:Karmenarenas/Watchdog Committee.

Anyway, now that I've reorganised your user space, I've quite forgotten what it was that I was going to say to you! (Ah, the joys of middle age!)

Maybe I'll remember tomorrow, and will ask you then.

Before I leave, I'll once again congratulate you on the job you've done on the IOOF Philippines page

Best wishes, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:27, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Colours
Hi! I've been associated with the IOOF (in Australia) in one way or another for over 50 years, but I've never been aware of the IOOF having any "colours" associated with it.

Could I bother you to point me at more information? Thanks in advance, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:53, 19 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Brother, Initiatory degree is white. 1st degree is pink. 2nd degree is blue and the third is scarlet red. This are the colours of IOOF.


 * Yes. (I guess I'd never thought of them as IOOF's "colours".) Thanks. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:47, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

IOOF in Australia/Australasia
Okay brother. Could you leave us a contact, we would like to ask the status of IOOF in Australia as a fraternal organization? Does IOOF in Australia still function as a fraternal organization because we have seen many Australia IOOF websites and it seemed like just an insurance company? Feel free to drop a message: www.ioofphilippines.yolasite.com


 * Could you leave us a contact
 * Certainly! Regarding The Grand Lodge of South Australia:


 * Contact details:
 * http://www.keyinvest.com.au/ioofsa/network.htm#glofsa
 * IOOF Building (Adelaide)
 * Grand Lodge Office: Level 5/47 Gawler Place, Adelaide SA 5000
 * Postal Address: PO Box 3340 Rundle Mall, Adelaide SA 5000


 * Website: http://www.keyinvest.com.au/ioofsa/ - It looks like this page was written in 2001 and hasn't been updated (except to move it from http://www.ioofsa.com.au which is no longer active to http://www.keyinvest.com.au). However almost all of the other information is still current, even though it hasn't been updated.
 * Also on the http://www.keyinvest.com.au/ioofsa/network.htm page: The Grand Lodge of Australasia Incorporates:
 * The Grand Lodge of South Australia.
 * The Grand Lodge of New South Wales.
 * The Grand Lodge of Western Australia.
 * The Grand Lodge of Tasmania.
 * The Grand Lodge of New Zealand.
 * (By-the-way: Before today, I hadn't looked at the website in detail for many years, well before I started writing wikipedia pages. I'm surprised to see how much history and information there is on it!)


 * We would like to ask the status of IOOF in Australia as a fraternal organization?
 * Answer: Active. Example:
 * The Grand Lodge of South Australia Incorporates 6 Odd Fellow Brother Lodges and 2 Odd Fellow Sister Lodges (Rebekah).


 * Does IOOF in Australia still function as a fraternal organization
 * Yes.
 * "because we have seen many Australia IOOF websites and it seemed like just an insurance company?"
 * Yes, the websites DO tend to focus on the associated insurance and investment companies, don't they!
