MECHANIC FALLS — Winnie Belleville, Past Noble Grand of Colfax Rebekah Lodge 27, Mechanic Falls, has been appointed by Rebekah Assembly of Maine President Verna Jones of Phippsburg to be District Deputy President of District 3.

Belleville has chosen Cindy Larrabee, also a member of Colfax Rebekah Lodge and a past district deputy president, to be her marshal.

They will visit the three Rebekah lodges in District 3: Colfax 27, Nina 86 in Lisbon and Liberty 94 in Auburn, to present the program of the new Rebekah Assembly president, who has as her motto, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart.”

Her choice of flowers is daisies of all colors and her hymn is “It Is No Secret.” She has also chosen two of her favorite songs, “This Love Is Mine” and “Little Flowers.” Her Bible verse is Ephesians 4:32 and her project is the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Home of Maine in Auburn.
