Sandy Lake Lodge #573
We are the last IOOF Lodge in Mercer County but are quite active for our membership. Some of our causes are 1.) Two yearly scholarships in the amount of $500.00 each for county students that attend the Mercer County Career Center (i.e., Vo-Tech) that help them continue on with trade school or to purchase tools/equipment for their jobs. 2.) NEW FOR 2024!!! Two $250.00 scholarships for students from local schools that are majoring in a music-related field 3.) Donating to a "special area project" every year including helping to repair the roof for the local library, helping to raise money for the renovation of the local park including playground equipment, donating to VARHA (the Venango Area Riding for the Handicapped) https://www.varha.org/, raising money for Promise of Life Network https://www.promiseoflifenetwork.org/, and this year (2024) we are working in conjunction with the Mercer County branch of Special Olympics to help them raise funds for their activities!
