February 24, 2022: New Members Initiation
The Magnificent Seven
Seven elected Initiates became Members of Ocean View Lodge #143, HMB Odd Fellows, in a hybrid ceremony. The in-person at-the-Lodge ceremony had no physical contact, was shortened and the Initiation Team limited in number to increase protection during these Pandemic times. After the Initiation Ceremony a group picture was taken and socialization with refreshments ensued.
The Zoom meeting started at 7:30 with about 20 members attending on Zoom. The new Members introduced each other on Zoom to existing Members. Then, new Members were sent to Zoom Rooms with smaller groups of members to give members a chance to visit in small groups. Our Chaplin gave us a Minute for Reflection and our Vice Grand ended with a recitation of the Odd Fellows Creed.
