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.
