So much appreciation on behalf of Morning Star Lodge #20 IOOF and Dan Rainey Noble Grand. And many many thanks to our community.

The El Dorado County Historical Society (EDCHS) is proud of our recent collaboration with the Placerville Morning Star Lodge #20 IOOF to raise crucial funds for the Building Preservation Fund of Main Street Placerville's historic IOOF Hall.

To everyone in our wonderful community who volunteered their time, provided vital services, or purchased tickets to the May Day Ball fundraiser, THANK YOU! Because of your generous support, we successfully raised critical funds needed to maintain, restore, and retrofit this beautiful, historic building for generations to come.

A very special shoutout and heartfelt thank you to Diane Wilkinson Catering for providing exceptional service and helping make the evening such a success! 🍽️🥂

🤝 Build Your Legacy. Shape the Future of Atlantic Canada. 🤝

Did you know the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) was active in the Atlantic Provinces even before the Confederation of Canada? For almost two centuries, we have been a quiet but powerful force for good—from the shores of Newfoundland to the communities of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and PEI.

We have produced world leaders and everyday heroes. Today, we are looking for a few good men and women to carry that torch forward.

Why Join the "Odd" Fellows?
In an increasingly disconnected world, we offer a sense of belonging and a structured path toward personal and community growth. Our mission is simple: Improve character, make friends, and help people.

We live by the three links of Friendship, Love, and Truth (FLT):

Improve Your Character: Develop leadership skills and personal integrity in a fraternal environment.

Build Lifelong Friendships: Join a diverse group of men and women who share a common goal of mutual support.

Make a Real Difference: Support local charities and aid those in distress. We help our communities in our own "little ways" that add up to a massive impact.

📍 We Are Growing – And We Need You!
Whether you are looking to join an existing Lodge or want to bring the spirit of Odd Fellowship to your own hometown, the door is open.

Join a Local Lodge: We have active members across the Atlantic Provinces ready to welcome you.

Start a New Lodge: If there isn’t a Lodge in your area, create one! We provide full support, mentorship, and resources to help you establish a new branch of our Order.

Are You Ready to Make a Difference?
You don’t need to be a world leader to join; you just need a heart for service and a desire to better yourself and your neighbors.
