== Who?==

; [https://www.ruritan.org/about/history/ Who are the Ruritans?]

* The first Ruritan Club was chartered May 21, 1928, in Holland, Virginia. Since that first club, Ruritan has grown throughout the United States of America, and in doing so, has become “America’s Leading Community Service Organization.”
* Tom Downing of Suffolk, Virginia, and Jack Gwaltney of Holland, Virginia, are known as the co-founders of Ruritan. Gwaltney and Downing recognized the need for an organization where community leaders could meet and discuss ways to make their community a better place in which to live.
* The name “Ruritan” was suggested by Daisy Nurney, a reporter for the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot newspaper, and the club’s charter members unanimously adopted “Ruritan” as the organization’s name. The word is a combination of the Latin words for open country “ruri” and small town “tan,” interpreted as pertaining to rural and small town life.

; Who are Peak Creek Ruritans?
* We are a local group doing good in our community. We have fundraisers to help local students with scholarships to trade schools.
* Peak Creek Ruritans, founded in 1984, is open to adults of good character and integrity who are dedicated to community service, regardless of race, religion, gender, or political affiliation.

== What? ==

* Ruritan is a civic organization whose purpose is to create a better understanding between rural and urban people and through volunteer community service, create a better place in which to live and work.
* The motto of Ruritan is Fellowship, Goodwill, and Community Service. Club membership represents a cross-section of the community. Ruritan is available to all persons regardless of race, religion, age, national origin, handicap, political affiliation or sex.
* Unlike most civic organizations, Ruritan rarely has national programs. Rather, each Club surveys its own community as to the needs of that community and then works to meet some of those needs. A large number of clubs work locally with FFA, 4-H and one in three Ruritan Clubs sponsor Scouting. Other local Ruritan projects include scholarships, community watch, recreation, Little League, athletic programs, anti-litter campaigns, and help to the sick and needy.
* Ruritan members receive from the Club what they put into it. The great sense of camaraderie and fulfillment in the community service fills the hearts of those who make the commitment to attend their Club meetings regularly and serve when and where needed.

== Who?==

; [https://odd-fellows.org/about/odd-fellows/ Who are the Odd Fellows?]
: The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is one of the oldest and largest fraternities in the world. We are non-political and non-sectarian. Membership is open to all regardless of sex, race, religion, political affiliation and social status -all bound by the desire to improve ourselves and the calling to live and promote the principles of Friendship, Love, and Truth which transcends labels. We believe that by developing close friendships among each other and by working together in our communities, we can make a difference in the world and among ourselves! Discussing political, sectarian or any other debate is forbidden in the Lodge, so it breaks down the social walls and labels used to view others and opens hearts and minds to start seeing people as Brothers and Sisters.

; Who are Jefferson Lodge No. 38?
: We are a local group doing good in our community, and part of the [https://odd-fellows.org Independent Order of Odd Fellows]. We have fundraisers to help local people in need. We are not a long-term charity, but we help when some short-term situation means a family might get their power shut off or can't put food on the table this week.

Jefferson Lodge No. 38, founded in 1904, was one of dozens of Odd Fellows lodges in Ashe County during the 1900s. While the Odd Fellows originally allowed only men, we have been open to all since 2001.

== What? ==

; [https://odd-fellows.org/about/our-mission/ What is an Odd Fellow?]

; An Odd Fellow bases his thoughts and actions on healthy philosophical principles.
: He believes that life is a commitment to improve and elevate the character of humanity through service and example. He is humble in a way that he never boasts about himself. He knows and accepts his strengths and weaknesses and keeps away from badmouthing people and making unreasonable allegations. He understands that certain things in life are unavoidable. He is aware of the vanity of earthly things, the frailty and inevitable decay of human life and the fact that wealth has no power to stop the sureness of eventual death. He then asks the question, “How am I going to spend my life?”

; An Odd Fellow is an advocate of FRIENDSHIP and never looks at people with prejudiced eyes or bases his judgment on outward appearances.
: He supports the idea that all people irrespective of creed, race, color, nationality, social status, sex, rank and station are brothers and sisters. He does not take an undue advantage of his power or the weaknesses of those around him. He is gentle in behavior and never inflicts pain. He avoids impurity in thoughts and unchaste conduct. He also knows that he should respect himself by following temperance in his desires and fighting against vice of every form, chastity of person, and purity in heart and mind.

; An Odd Fellow is an enactor of LOVE in a way that he feels jointly responsible for his fellowmen and prepared to give attention and help wherever and whenever help is needed.
: He is a person who treats others, especially women and children, with dignity and respect. He knows the application of sympathy, sincerity, unselfishness, and generosity. He accepts the fact that nothing is perfect but believes that he has an obligation to contribute in making the world a better place to live.

; An Odd Fellow is a pursuer of TRUTH and adheres to equality, justice and righteousness.
: He sees searching for truth as searching for clarity in the sense of his life. Every time a small piece of truth is found, he will try to use it only in ways where he will be able to be true to himself and his fellowmen. Oftentimes, he thinks before he acts and speaks. He knows that, as a human being, it is a fact that he can think. He gives account to himself and knows that before he starts doing something, he can make the choice what to do and can think it over and consider whether the choice was the right one. He believes that making good and well-considered choices is called "behaving in a responsible way".

;Odd Fellowship Teaches:
* Wise and serious truths and opens up before its members opportunities for useful service.
* Belief in a Supreme Being, the Creator and Preserver of the Universe.
* The lesson of fraternity, that all are of one family and therefore brethren.
* The importance of the principle of Friendship, Love and Truth.
* The privilege and duty of individual sympathy, mutual assistance and every-day service to ones fellows.
* That humanity was intended to be one harmonious structure.
* That each individual is a unit in that God-made temple.
* Its members how to stand on their own feet, yet walk in step with their neighbors.
* The difference between right and wrong.
* That it is more blessed to give than to receive.

; [https://odd-fellows.org/join-us/what-can-we-do-for-you/ What can we do for you?]
: In addition to gaining a worldwide family of Brothers and Sisters and the many philosophical lessons of our Degrees dating back centuries, there are many benefits to being a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Members learn and use many valuable life skills that carry over into life outside the Lodge. These skills are useful to anyone trying to better their career and will be handy on any resumé or for anyone who is an entrepreneur trying to start their own business.

; [https://odd-fellows.org/join-us/what-can-you-do-for-us/ What can you do for us?]
: We are looking for individuals who have a variety of valuable skills to help us be the best Order we can be. Even though we have been around for 200 years, we are made up of almost entirely of men and women who volunteer their time and talents to make the Independent Order of Odd Fellows one of the oldest charitable organizations in the World. This grassroots approach allows us to spend most of the money we take in on helping others.

== Who?==

; [https://odd-fellows.org/about/odd-fellows/ Who are the Odd Fellows?]
: The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is one of the oldest and largest fraternities in the world. We are non-political and non-sectarian. Membership is open to all regardless of sex, race, religion, political affiliation and social status -all bound by the desire to improve ourselves and the calling to live and promote the principles of Friendship, Love, and Truth which transcends labels. We believe that by developing close friendships among each other and by working together in our communities, we can make a difference in the world and among ourselves! Discussing political, sectarian or any other debate is forbidden in the Lodge, so it breaks down the social walls and labels used to view others and opens hearts and minds to start seeing people as Brothers and Sisters.

; Who are Jefferson Lodge No. 38?
: We are a local group doing good in our community, and part of the [https://odd-fellows.org Independent Order of Odd Fellows]. We have fundraisers to help local people in need. We are not a long-term charity, but we help when some short-term situation means a family might get their power shut off or can't put food on the table this week. We also sponsor a [[Pack_238 | Cub Scout Pack]].

Jefferson Lodge No. 38, founded in 1904, was one of dozens of Odd Fellows lodges in Ashe County during the 1900s. While the Odd Fellows originally allowed only men, we have been open to all since 2001.

== What? ==

; [https://odd-fellows.org/about/our-mission/ What is an Odd Fellow?]

; An Odd Fellow bases his thoughts and actions on healthy philosophical principles.
: He believes that life is a commitment to improve and elevate the character of humanity through service and example. He is humble in a way that he never boasts about himself. He knows and accepts his strengths and weaknesses and keeps away from badmouthing people and making unreasonable allegations. He understands that certain things in life are unavoidable. He is aware of the vanity of earthly things, the frailty and inevitable decay of human life and the fact that wealth has no power to stop the sureness of eventual death. He then asks the question, “How am I going to spend my life?”

; An Odd Fellow is an advocate of FRIENDSHIP and never looks at people with prejudiced eyes or bases his judgment on outward appearances.
: He supports the idea that all people irrespective of creed, race, color, nationality, social status, sex, rank and station are brothers and sisters. He does not take an undue advantage of his power or the weaknesses of those around him. He is gentle in behavior and never inflicts pain. He avoids impurity in thoughts and unchaste conduct. He also knows that he should respect himself by following temperance in his desires and fighting against vice of every form, chastity of person, and purity in heart and mind.

; An Odd Fellow is an enactor of LOVE in a way that he feels jointly responsible for his fellowmen and prepared to give attention and help wherever and whenever help is needed.
: He is a person who treats others, especially women and children, with dignity and respect. He knows the application of sympathy, sincerity, unselfishness, and generosity. He accepts the fact that nothing is perfect but believes that he has an obligation to contribute in making the world a better place to live.

; An Odd Fellow is a pursuer of TRUTH and adheres to equality, justice and righteousness.
: He sees searching for truth as searching for clarity in the sense of his life. Every time a small piece of truth is found, he will try to use it only in ways where he will be able to be true to himself and his fellowmen. Oftentimes, he thinks before he acts and speaks. He knows that, as a human being, it is a fact that he can think. He gives account to himself and knows that before he starts doing something, he can make the choice what to do and can think it over and consider whether the choice was the right one. He believes that making good and well-considered choices is called "behaving in a responsible way".

;Odd Fellowship Teaches:
* Wise and serious truths and opens up before its members opportunities for useful service.
* Belief in a Supreme Being, the Creator and Preserver of the Universe.
* The lesson of fraternity, that all are of one family and therefore brethren.
* The importance of the principle of Friendship, Love and Truth.
* The privilege and duty of individual sympathy, mutual assistance and every-day service to ones fellows.
* That humanity was intended to be one harmonious structure.
* That each individual is a unit in that God-made temple.
* Its members how to stand on their own feet, yet walk in step with their neighbors.
* The difference between right and wrong.
* That it is more blessed to give than to receive.

; [https://odd-fellows.org/join-us/what-can-we-do-for-you/ What can we do for you?]
: In addition to gaining a worldwide family of Brothers and Sisters and the many philosophical lessons of our Degrees dating back centuries, there are many benefits to being a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Members learn and use many valuable life skills that carry over into life outside the Lodge. These skills are useful to anyone trying to better their career and will be handy on any resumé or for anyone who is an entrepreneur trying to start their own business.

; [https://odd-fellows.org/join-us/what-can-you-do-for-us/ What can you do for us?]
: We are looking for individuals who have a variety of valuable skills to help us be the best Order we can be. Even though we have been around for 200 years, we are made up of almost entirely of men and women who volunteer their time and talents to make the Independent Order of Odd Fellows one of the oldest charitable organizations in the World. This grassroots approach allows us to spend most of the money we take in on helping others.
