Demystifying Grand Lodge
GRAND LODGE. The mere words strike fear into the hearts of Odd Fellows everywhere. What is this strange, mysterious conglomeration of Odd Fellows who gather for some unknown purpose? Since Grand Lodge season is upon us, Ainslie and Toby sat down with Brothers Adam Potolsky and Matthew Finkelstein to discuss their experiences at the 2022 session of the Grand Lodge of California held in Modesto. Brother Adam is a veteran of several Grand Lodge sessions and served on the Legislation Committee. Brother Matthew is a newbie at Grand Lodge and served as Grand Herald. Each shared their insights into attending Grand Lodge and their insights into what makes the experience meaningful. Both are of the same opinion, that everyone who has the opportunity should attend, but for different reasons. Another highlight of the session was the chartering of a new lodge, Emerald Bay #50, of Lake Tahoe, California, which gets our Shoutout for the episode.
