Part of what makes Modern Woodmen special is our fraternalism and dedication to community reinvestment. Not long ago, many of our most involved members gathered at Hudson & Essex to celebrate 2025's success and set a course for 2026! We also used this time to recognize Lanny O'Hail as Hometown Hero. Congrats, Lanny--and thanks for all your good work in our community! #HometownHero #CommunityImpact #ModernWoodmenFraternalFinancial

"Every small business is a story of someone who believed their community was worth investing in." I recently had the privilege to present one of Richland County’s Small Business of the Year finalists at the annual awards luncheon. What an honor. Congrats to all of the businesses that were recognized! #SmallBusiness #SmallBusinessOfTheYear #SupportLocal #RichlandAreaChamber&EconomicDevelopment
