Who Are Odd Fellows

In 18th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and pursuing projects for the benefit of all humankind.  Those were called "Odd Fellows".

Today, the Odd Fellows is a worldwide fraternal Order having lodges in 28 countries.  We are actively involved in a variety of civic and philanthropic efforts on a local, national, and international level.

Love - The basis for all life's ambitions, service to others and family.
Truth - The standard by which we value people and the foundation of our society.
