    Socialization is critically important to human beings.  When opportunities to connect with others are eliminated or reduced, the physical and mental effects can be sobering.  Dr. Rebecca Boxer, chief of Geriatrics, Hospice and Palliative Medicine at UC Davis Health, will share medical insights and recent research on the effects of isolation and prolonged loneliness.  There will be time for questions and answers.

    Please enjoy coffee and delicious breakfast treats in the company of your UFC friends for 30 minutes prior to the presentation as we celebrate the value of community!

    Dr. Rebecca Boxer is a geriatrician caring for older adults with multiple chronic conditions, functional decline, dementia and frailty.  She has broad research interests including heart failure, disease management, nursing home care, and social determinants of health.

    This event brings book lovers together to celebrate the joy of reading and share their favorite books of the year. It provides a unique opportunity for participants to discover new titles, discuss literary trends and connect with others. In addition to the book discussions, there will be plenty of time to socialize while munching on a variety of sweet and savory treats.

    At the event, we will compile a master list of books shared by attendees and email it to you afterwards. This will make it easy to track the books that piqued your interest. There will also be a table dedicated to a book exchange, where you can bring books you're willing to pass on to a new home.

    Get ready to have some fun, make some cash, and support Farm Circle scholarships. Last year, this event was an enormous success!

    Mark your calendars for Davis' only legal Bingo game, run by the Davis Odd Fellows. All proceeds will be donated 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 UFC members come out to play! The more players we have, the more proceeds we raise for UFC.

    Please note: Only adults (18 and older) may attend, as Bingo is considered 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's a full snack bar with food, drinks, candy, and wine and beer. Free door prizes are handed out all afternoon.

    The room capacity is 125 people.  Get there early (doors open at noon) to get a seat!

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

    Reservation Period: January 15, 2026 - March 8, 2026
