See Schedule O
As an organization, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows aims to provide a framework that promotes personal and social development. Lodge decrees and activities aim to improve and elevate every person to a higher, nobler plane; to extend sympathy and aid to those in need, making their burdens lighter, relieving the darkness of despair, to war against vice in every form, and to be a great moral power and influence for the good of humanity. For members, the decrees of odd fellowship emphasize leaving of the old life and the start of a better one, of welcoming travelers, and of helping those in need. The command of the IOOF is to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan. Specifically, IOOF today is dedicated to the following purpose: 1) To improve and elevate the character of mankind by promoting the principles of friendship, love and truth, faith, hope charity and the universal justice. (2) To help make the world a better place to live by aiding each other, the community the less fortunate, the youth, the elderly, the environment and the community in every way possible. (3) To promote goodwill and harmony amongst peoples and nations through the principle of universal fraternity, holding the belief that all men and women regardless of race, nationality, religion, social status, gender, rank and station are brothers and sisters.Ideally, an Odd Fellows lodge is a place for fellowship in all its forms, from hanging out and just having fun, to discussions, to networking, to collaboration on creative and constructive projects, all with an eye not only on our own satisfaction but on what we might offer to the community at large. An ideal lodge is a great venue for a lot of positive energy and all members are encouraged to contribute their share. In addition, lodges provide an international social network of brothers and sisters that extends to more than 26 countries worldwide. If traveling is an interest, membership can provide a valuable network that will very much welcome an international visitor, and assist in their enterprises and their travels whenever possible.
