Back in the day, members used unique ways to express the need to prepare for the unexpected. Goggles (called "hoodwinks") were sometimes worn by a new member as part of an initiation ritual. Pins (push buttons) on the goggles changed the color seen through eyepieces from black to red, open and closed. This prop showed that things change throughout your life. #ThrowbackThursday

These Are the Best Halloween Favors for Families Who Don't Want to Give Out Candy

Hand these non-candy treats out this Halloween and the neighborhood will start calling you Dra-cool-a! https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/holidays/halloween-ideas/g40070465/non-candy-halloween-treats/

Modern Woodmen is partnering with Wreaths Across America to remember and honor veterans by laying wreaths on their graves this December. You, your family and friends can help honor our fallen heroes by volunteering at one of our local cemeteries. (And/or you can sponsor a wreath to be placed on a gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery. Modern Woodmen will match each purchase, wreath for wreath, doubling your impact.)
