IOOF plans lodge shift in February for new building
Lawrence IOOF members prepare to move to a new 5,500 square foot building at 1520 Haskell in the week of February 7. The old IOOF Hall at Eighth and Vermont was sold to cover construction costs after 91 years as the lodge meeting place. The new facility will be air conditioned, house a meeting room, serve as the Rebekah Lodge meeting place, and be available for rental. A dedication and open house will follow exterior completion. Five area residents earned fall semester honors at Fort Hays State College, including Linda Janet Bledsoe and Douglas A. Bray of Lawrence.
