Our historic purpose-built community center can be rented for regular meetings or one-time events.

Fraternity is a means to improve and elevate the character of humanity. Our building provides a home for several Odd Fellows-related and other fraternal organizations.

Odd Fellowship draws from a rich legacy of volunteerism, intentional compassion and mutual aid.


 

WINTER SOLSICE FEAST  12/21/2024

The time has come for us to join together and create the Winter Feast in celebration of the solstice, the longest night of the year.

This Winter Solstice feast is a chance for us to bond as a community! A place where we lift our spirits and revel in the knowledge that the days will get longer and the sun will return! A time when we unite in food and frolic!

You will be surrounded by art, music, and friends!

Dinner will be a picnic-style potluck; bring food to share, BYOB, and bring your own place settings (we also encourage bringing a bag to hold used dishes).

Tickets are $20 for adults and children over 10, please visit Brown Paper Tickets
