Well! Some members of the Westport Lodge and District #20 of the Indiana Oddfellows just got done participating in the Degree of The Noble Order of Muscovites. We hope this brings new blood to our little corner of the state for Oddfellows and other Fraternities in our community. FTLOTC!

THERE'S STILL TIME!!!

For Members and Non-Members Alike!

Below is a link to the Noble Order of the Muscovites Degree. The degree will be via zoom February 2nd, 2023. Westport Oddfellow Lodge is trying to put a Muscovite Degree Team together (separate of the Oddfellows), this is just for charity, the Lodge will house/sponsor the team also known as a Kremlin [after the Pre-WW1 theme of the Degree]) to help out local charities while having fun. It takes at least 15 people to open a new Kremlin. Charity and Fellowship are two very important tenants as Oddfellows and we ant to carry that on.

We are considering doing a watch party at the lodge if we can get enough people or you can watch it from home.

If you are interested in doing this adventure, please contact us. Men and Women are always welcome in an Oddfellow and Definitely welcome amongst the Muscovites. We truly hope to hear from you. If you have any questions, please feel free to message us.
There is a One-Time Membership fee of $25 to the people putting on the degree. Please the link below.

Do you enjoy helping out local charities? Do you enjoy having fun with a positive purpose? Would you be willing to participate in helping others raise funds for charities while joining a small community of people?

The Order of The Muscovites is an old Oddfellow body that was disbanded in the 1920's. In recent years, it has been brought back as an unofficial body for ANYONE to join to help raise money for charity. This a great way to see what a degree can look like, get a taste of Fraternalism, have fun, and raise some money for a good cause in the process.

This is a VIRTUAL DEGREE that can be done from the comfort of your home! If you are interested, see the link below. If you go through the degree or plan on going through the degree, I'd appreciate it if you would let us know. If we get enough local people, we can open our own Chapter and help our own local charities and community!

The degree is $25 and is a lifetime membership!

On September 22nd, 2022, Westport Lodge 681 Hosted the Indiana Grand Lodge IOOF District 20 Meeting. We are pleased to say that we had a full house! In addition to all of the fellowship, we were blessed to have visitors. Among our visitors was our very own Deputy Grand Master John Klaehn who was received with Honors!

In addition to a full house and visiting brethren, it was District Officer Election Night. For the first time in a very long time, we have fresh AND young members sitting in our elected offices!

We want to extend a Brotherly Congratulations to our New District: President Greg Cunningham, Vice President Blake Ponsler, and Secretary Chad Lyday!

We are excited to see the growth and revitalization in our District and Lodge!

We also want to give a shout out to our Past District President Mike Davisson for the past year. (Pictured below holding the medal. To the Right is Indiana Deputy Grand Master John Klaehn presenting award)
