Wednesday, June 25, is the Oddfellows monthly potluck social which is held every fourth Wednesday of the month. Each month is a different theme and this month will be a salad bar. The Oddfellows provide the main dish and guests are welcome to bring an appetizer or dessert. The potluck starts at 6pm but some members show up early to play card games and socialize. This event is open to the community and all are welcome!
