The Octoberfest is overseen by us of Order Social Service Committee. The Octoberfest Program Chairman shall always be chaired by a member of the Order with a Co-Chairman who is not part of the Order. This would foster a partnership with our Order and the communities we serve. The committee itself shall be a mixer of members from the Order and others leaders within the given areas. This program can only be active in areas where there is an Odd Fellows Lodge or Household of Ruth.
