Odd Fellows Progress Shifts Youth Use In Point Pleasant
In Point Pleasant the local Odd Fellows lodge is moving toward a younger leadership with members aged 20 to 35, shifting from its 50s-60s dominance half a century ago. Trustee M. Ek. Shifler reports the group now reflects a wide cross section of local business leaders and professionals, and the lodge has grown financially from a “too poor to buy a sandwich” era to about $70,000 in value. The lodge has embraced religious activities, reduced drinking and gambling, and reinvested savings into missions while aiding widows and orphans. Shifler, age 78, has 59 applications and seeks 100 members before he “goes home.”
