The Odd Fellows Hall, located at 415 Second Street, will open its doors for a gala grand opening on Friday, March 23, from 5 to 8 p.m.  The public is cordially invited to see the remodeled facilities.

The hall has been closed for over one year during a major remodeling project.  It is now completely ADA compliant and features a newly installed elevator.  The kitchen has been rebuilt and upgraded, and new bathrooms have been installed.  The centerpiece of the project is the basement lodge hall which is now styled in an art deco look with wood-paneling, acoustic ceiling, 1930-style lighting fixtures, and lush carpeting.

"We are extremely proud of our new Lodge Hall," said President of the Hall Board Andrew Skaggs, "and we look forward to opening it up to our community."

The grand opening will feature wine tasting by local winery Rominger West, finger food supplied by Nugget Markets, pizza from Woodstocks, and ice cream from Schwann's Creamery.  Members of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs will be available to give quick tours of the newly remodeled facility.

The hall is available for rent for meetings, conferences, dinners, weddings, birthdays, and other events subject to availability.  For more information, please call Joe Patti at (530) 758-4949 or (530) 304-5760.

The Odd Fellows is the oldest continuously operating organization in Davis, pre-dating the City of Davis and UC Davis. The Davis Odd Fellows are very active in support of charitable and community causes in Yolo County.    Further information on the Grand Opening can be obtained by calling Lea Rosenberg at 756-0697.  The Odd Fellows website is at www.davislodge.org.
