Memento Lodge #37 IOOF

Georgetown Mememto Lodge #37 IOOF is 170 years strong–established March 22, 1855. IOOF stands for Independent Order of Odd Fellows and originated in a pub in England in 1748.
The Odd Fellow name came from the establishing members of many different trades who were not able to join established beneficial groups. Perhaps this is where the phrase “Odd Jobs” originated.
Many of these Odd Fellows migrated to our East Coast then to California. With the gold rush in 1849, nearly every mining town of any size would soon have an Odd Fellow Lodge. Odd Fellows are credited with bringing a since of civility to their community.
The Hall provides a venue for fundraisers and programs for Rotary, Native Sons, Music On the Divide, Republican Women, 40+ years of Be Jazzed Fitness, yoga classes, community information meetings, blood drives, weddings and wakes, and provides a resource center in emergencies. It is also rented for private parties such as birthdays and baby showers, etc.
