1. Chess Club. Who is interested in an Odd Fellows Chess Club Committee? Let me know by replying to falible@gmail.com, and remember: “Attackers may sometimes regret bad moves, but it is much worse to forever regret an opportunity you allowed to pass by.” ~ Garry Kasparov, Former World Chess Champion.
2. Odd Ball Bowling. Bowling shirts designed by Janis Rosenberg are available for purchase. If you would like some snazzy new threads, please contact Bob Dovi by July 18th, at bdovi02@yahoo.com. The next bowling outing will be in September at Capital Bowl in West Sacramento.
3. Football. Kevin Sitz is interested in organizing a lodge soccer or flag football team, IOOF FC, as well as organizing events to go watch pro football or soccer. Stay tuned for an email from Kevin with more information.

5. The Davis Odd Fellows Lodge #169 would like to organize a bike ride from Davis to Winters and back, stopping for breakfast in Winters. It’s 32 miles round trip over flat terrain.
