  2. Ainslie, Fresno Odd Fellows Lodge #186 in Fresno, California is looking into setting up a website. Is there an Odd Fellows website that we can link our website to? Is there an Odd Fellows website that would be able to host our domain? I contacted the Grand Lodge of California who referred me to a member who owns a consulting firm that we would have to pay to setup and host our website for a fee each month. We have our own local resources that can do that. We are more interested in setting up a link (or links) to an IOOF website. I would appreciate any information you could provided.

  5. I’ve walked , rode my bike and driven by a lodge possible hundreds of times in tge past few years and every time I do i find myself looking towards with hopes of catching a glimpse of activities going on about the lodge. To this day i have not seen so much as the sidewalk being cleared of the fallen snow. It get my imagination going in absurd way that surly keeps my sense of humor humorous. As i surf on my mobile device ive found myself landing here. So here i am writing a comment with nothing great to add. Possibility there is something missing in my life. Yea, when I’ve nothing better to do on a late Wednesday evening id say there is a void that is ready to be filled with love of whatever i do to fill it. I would like to learn more about becoming odd. My wife has said I’m wierd, does that help? Hmmm, hows about this,… You know when we were growing up and in school, our teachers and coachs would say things like TEAMWORK and there is no I in TEAM?
    Well what if many years ago I discovered the i in Team. Interested? I can show how i discovered it. It can only be Illustrated.i dont know what it is im commenting such nonsensical nonsense for. Perhaps it the void, yes, the void made me do it… Oh boy.
