Growing Prosperity

In high school, Dustin used to wander past the dusty old Odd Fellows Hall in Wenatchee, Washington.  Intrigued by the music blaring out on to the sidewalk one evening, he went in to find an all-ages punk rock concert.  Joel was the producer of those concerts and made sure the teens and young adults of Wenatchee had a safe, fun place on Friday nights.  Now, nearly thirty years later, they are both members of the lodge where those concerts were held and they are putting on the concerts themselves.  Prosperity Lodge #301 nearly died in 2018 and was saved, only to die again during Covid and get revived yet again.  Now thriving and growing, Prosperity Lodge has become a template for other lodges looking to grow by attracting newer members with activities.  The brothers talk about the punk shows, vinyl record expo, plant sales, parties, and other events which have built their lodge up in the past two years.  The Shoutout goes to another new lodge, Concordia #383 in Tazewell, Tennessee.  For the Odd Podge, Ainslie previews the tattoo portion of the Tuscola Odd Market, Toby reveals that another of his nephews is joining the lodge, Mike shares about meeting his riding goals for the season, Joel talks about a former member of the lodge, and Dustin is thankful for everyone who helped out.  Pictures of the Prosperity Lodge and its events can be found at https://photos.app.goo.gl/4i5oapveHq1rJkzL6
