Lodge fund raiser planned By Delpha Jones In 1929 Minnie Leach McMillan deeded the present Lexington Odd fellow and Rebekah Hall to the Odd fellows, for a lodge meeting place and community building. Mrs. McMillan had a general merchandise store and when it closed she donated the building to the lodge. Since then there have been many changes in the financial business of the lodges, and it seems as if there just isn’t enough money to go to make repairs to the building. With insurance, lights, water, fuel and state dues to the Holgate Center in Portland there is not enough money from dues to make major repairs, so other money makers are needed. The building has been used for dinners, showers, wedding receptions, card parties, get togethers for families, and dinners for bereaved families and others. The first roof project was April 20 with a spaghetti dinners and card party.
