Hi, friends. Here’s your Sycamore Odd Fellows lodge newsletter for March 2024. There are several events this month.

The 2024 lodge calendar is on the lodge website here. (It’s in jpg/pdf format…we could use someone who knows how to put it into Google Calendar – if you have a bit of time to volunteer, please respond to this email.).

Peace & Pizza Fri. 3/8 at 7 pm via Zoom

Peace & Pizza meets monthly, always on the second Friday of the month. This is going to be the first IN-PERSON meeting since the pandemic! Bring your dinner, or something to share, and come together in community! They usually feature a discussion, guest speaker or documentary, organized by Sycamore Member Stephania Widger. This meeting will also be hybrid, so if you would like the Zoom link, email her at oceankayak@aol.com .

Social & Business Meeting Mon. 3/11 at 6:30/7:30 pm

Our monthly Lodge Social and Business meeting is always on the second Monday of the month – the Social starts at 6:30 and the meeting at 7:30. This will be a hybrid meeting – a combination of in-person and Zoom, so you can choose how to attend. Come visit and say hi for a bit, or stay and find out what is going on at the business meeting.  Let Noble Grand Sarah Hartman  or Secretary Laura Brady  know if you have an item that you wish the lodge to discuss. I will send out the agenda and all the additional items to members via a separate email on Monday.

Weekly Every T&Th: Requests & Dedications Zoom 

Sycamore Member Frank Goulart continues to recover from his 2020 stroke, but he still plays guitar – and he invites everyone to a weekly “Request & Dedications” Zoom social on Tuesdays at 12:30-1:30pm and Thursdays 2-4pm! (Pacific time). Come to talk and laugh and enjoy some music and friendship.  If you would like to get on his email list so you get the the Zoom link, email Frank at fgoulart@pacbell.net . Let him know requests for any songs you would like him to play.
