Communication Hits And Misses
Brothers Ainslie and Toby are joined by Brother Wayne Geurts, Past Grand Master and current Grand Scribe of Ontario to discuss the state of communication in Odd Fellowship. Brothers Wayne and Ainslie are both on the Sovereign Grand Lodge Communications Committee so they share information about their experiences on the committee and what it does for Odd Fellowship. The brothers also go into detail about the ways in which communication has been successful, like connecting with young people wanting to join the Odd Fellows, supporting efforts to establish lodges outside of North America (including Brazil Lodge #1), reconnecting with lodges in Cuba, and moving communication into the digital age with websites and social media. They also outline some of the ways in which communication has been less than successful in Odd Fellowship, like the challenges some people face when they contact lodges to join.
