Odd Fellowship

Odd Fellowship is about many things. It is about community service, loyalty to one's brothers and sisters, learning important lessons about Friendship, Love and Truth, and sharing the fraternal experience. It is about the positive changes that occur in a person when they feel the air of unity wherever Odd Fellows gather. It is about putting aside political and religious differences, and working with others from different walks of life to improve the world. It is about always striving to be a person of virtue who seeks to grow in our order's three main ideals: Friendship, Love, and Truth.

Odd Fellowship visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan.
