It Is A Happy New Year AND We Are Still Here!
"We" are your Foresthill Odd Fellows. We are still right here in that uptown two-story brick building on Foresthill Road.
Not only is it a new year for all of us, but it is the beginning of our building’s one hundred sixty fifth year here! - 165 YEARS!!
You may have seen one or two of us doing a little bit of work on that building sometimes, sprucing it up with some white paint
or rearranging the construction fence for our new next door neighbors, The Red Dirt. But much more has been going on behind
our closed doors… Much More!
Helping hands and homespun ingenuity inside has considerably stabilized the slightly weak corner. We are now meeting inside
and it is a special, almost reverent, sensation. We would not have been able to be where we are now, if not for the patient hospitality
of our friends: Patrick’s “MEGAS CAFÉ” and Kelly’s ”HAPPY MOUTH” to put up with us for these past three years. Thank you neighbors!
We’re looking for more neighbors to help carry on this mission. Everyone wants to bring the Odd Fellows building back
to its pioneering glory. Let's redo/renew the brick. Let’s bring back the front patio deck and canopy. And better than that, let’s bring
access and facilities into this 21st Century.
We need more neighbors and more Odd Fellows to carry this on. We’ve looked into setting up a 501c3 non-profit Building Foundation to make this all happen; it is doable. Interested? We’ve been asked many questions from many of you over the years.
We want to show you in person what’s going on and what can be done. We’re fired up and ready to keep things going as we
celebrate this great country’s 250th year and our great town's Odd Fellow Building’s 165th year.
Check us out and let's see what we all can do.

We all know what a special community Foresthill is. We’d love to bring that spirit back into the building to help glorify our small town’s special beauty.
Happy New Year Foresthill!
