Rose Float... or Ritual And Regalia
For this episode we had put out an invitation to members of the Rose Float Committee to join us and talk about how they put the float together and what it does to raise awareness of Odd Fellowship. Despite some encouraging communication initially, no one from the committee joined us for this episode. Ever the resourceful members, Scott, Toby, and Ainslie launched into an impromptu discussion of the importance of ritual and regalia to lodge life. The consensus amongst the three of them is that both ritual and regalia are very important and should be brought back as an essential part of the Odd Fellows experience. Being the free-thinking sorts that they are, if you have a contrasting opinion, they would love to hear it. Send them an email at 3linksoddcast@gmail.com and share your opinion about ritual and regalia. This episode's Shoutout goes to Portneuf Lodge #20 of Pocatello, Idaho for their spectacular growth, which was all prompted originally by renovating their beautiful neon lodge sign. In the Odd Podge, Toby shares the website he built for his associate lodge (http://www.buckley75ioof.com), Ainslie talks about singing the Odes along with the new recordings available for download (https://odd-fellows.org/member-resources/lodge-odes-and-music/), and Scott shares a random encounter that may lead to some new Odd Fellows in Arkansas.
