A Heartfelt FriendsGiving Celebration: Honoring Friendship in the Odd Fellows Tradition – Tuesday, November 25th 2025

What a beautiful way to mark the season—turning FriendsGiving into a tribute to one of the Odd Fellows’ foundational pillars: Friendship. As the first of the three cardinal virtues (alongside Love and Truth), Friendship embodies the unbreakable bonds that unite us, fostering support, joy, and mutual growth in our communities.

The International Order of Odd Fellows, with roots dating back over 200 years, emphasizes elevating humanity through these virtues—Friendship as the spark that ignites Love and Truth.

This Lodge gathering gave us the opportunity to share stories, laughter, and connection and in doing so create memories that linger far beyond the meal. It’s a reminder that true friendship isn’t just about presence—it’s about the meaningful moments that strengthen our collective spirit.
