We had the honor of presenting a check to Olivia Dunker and her family today at the lake.

Olivia, a 14-year-old battling cancer since the age of 2, is preparing for another major surgery in her ongoing fight. Through countless treatments and surgeries, she continues to show incredible strength and positivity.

We are proud to support Olivia and her family during this difficult journey and thankful for a community that continues to rally around those in need.

This is what being an Odd Fellow is all about… helping others when it matters most.

We want to thank JCG Midwest for partnering with us to replace our steps behind the building. Their generous donation allows us to keep our building safe and helps our budget so more money can go back into the community. See JCG for if you're in the market. And a special shout out to John Wheeler and his team for installing the stairs. Here are before and after pics.
