Odd Fellows is a non-profit fraternal organization which seeks to provide fellowship to men and women, and benefits to our community.
The Hayward Odd Fellows Lodge, called Sycamore #129, is especially interested in the arts and music, in taking care of our historic building, and in supporting other local non-profit groups.

Our members have a wide variety of interests – from poetry to computers to dancing to hiking – and we offer many events throughout the year, including:
• Monthly Music Jams
