  Get ready to have some fun!  (And make some cash money.)  And support Farm Circle scholarships.  Doors open at noon, Bingo begins at 1:00 pm.

  Mark your calendars for Davis' only legal Bingo game, run by the Davis Odd Fellows.  All proceeds will be given to UFC.  Fifteen games will be played that afternoon, with cash prizes for the winners of every game, up to $250 for the winner of the final blackout Bingo game.  We hope that UFC members come out to play.  The more players we have, the more proceeds we receive for UFC.  Only adults (18 and older) may be present for Bingo because it is legal gambling.

  Bingo at the Davis Odd Fellows Lodge is low-impact (not cutthroat) Bingo.  It's easy and fun.  Even novice players will enjoy it.  Bring some friends and celebrate a birthday!

  In addition to Bingo, there is a full snack bar with food, drinks, candy, and wine and beer.  Free door prizes are handed out all afternoon.

  Cost:  Pay at the door.  $20 for a full Bingo double packet or $12 for economy packet

  Registration Period:  January 15, 2025 through March 9, 2025

  We have two new exciting speakers this year! 
  

  Founding Director of the UC Davis Women's Cardiovascular Medicine Program, Professor Amparo Villablanca will talk to us about that all important organ – our hearts. As heart disease is the #1 killer of women, this presentation is extremely important. Professor Amparo Villablanca will present “Preventing Broken Hearts: Understanding and Treating Heart Disease in Women”.  

  Do we think first or do we talk first? What about a baby: does the baby think about food or does it just cry?  The latest recipient of the College of Letters and Science Teaching Award, Professor Masoud Jasbi, addresses this fascinating subject. Jasbi’s area of focus is language arts ranging from linguistics and linguistic analysis to language learning in humans and machines. This lecture is titled “Language vs. Thought, Babies vs. Machines”. 

  A lovely box lunch from Zia's Deli (sandwich, fruit salad and cookie) will be provided for each attendee and guests are welcome.

  Registration period: 1/15/25 - 3/6/25
