Predecessor Lodges
Allohak 88

 

Allohak Lodge #88 was the first lodge in our council to be created from a merger of councils.  This happened in 1973, when the Portage Trails Council and Wolverine Council merged to form the "new" Wolverine Council.  Their respective OA lodges, Munhacke Lodge #88 and Tecumseh Lodge #332, also merged to form the Allohak Lodge.   Following tradition, the new Allohak Lodge kept 88, the lower of the two lodge numbers, for its designation.  The word Allohak comes to us from the Lenape and means "powerful one."   The first Allohak Lodge flap was designed by Robert Bradshaw.  He incorporated parts of both previous lodge flaps to create the new lodge flap.  The two small pine trees represented the two former lodges and the large pine tree represented the new lodge.  Allohak had a membership of about 450 in 1993.  Mr. Bradshaw later became East Central Region OA Advisor and a member of the OA National Committee.
