A – No. The Posse Lodge does not allow outside solicitation at its events.

So which is it, the lodge or the shack?
There’s been much discussion about what the name of the building is and should be. First, one thing we all agree on is that the building is not the posse. The posse is the group of people who can, at a moment’s notice, assist the sheriff. The building, whatever its name, is the posse’s meeting place. Much to many of our member’s surprise, it was discovered while preparing our application for 501(c)3 status that the official name of the building was always the posse lodge. Many in the community (which includes many of our members) though, have always known the building as the posse shack. In the end, it’s perfectly acceptable for people to call this historic building as they will, so long as they come and have fun. (Note also that Cynthia, our inventory manager, may be sometimes be caught calling the building the schlodge so as to be neutral in the debate. That name is unlikely to be recognized by many.)
