Are you Finnish / Swedish-Speaking Finnish? Do you have parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents of Finnish / Swedish-Speaking Finnish heritage? Would you like to learn & participate in Finnish & Swedish-Speaking Finnish Culture & Tradition, then please join us. Check our local lodge locations (submenu, under "Lodges"). If you live within commuting distance of a lodge, let us know the lodge of interest to you. If you don't live within commuting distance of a lodge, we offer the "Associate Member" - an OR member, not in a local lodge - as an alternative to joining a local Lodge. Membership (local lodge or Associate Member) brings you a subscription to our quarterly publication "The Leading Star", published for over 109 years!
