October 16, 2025: History of the Crystal Springs Watershed
The Unseen Peninsula
Robert Buelteman is the only artist given unlimited access to the 24,000-acre Crystal Springs Watershed. Here is his informative presentation about this important piece of land whose development gave rise to the city of San Francisco and provides for the high quality of life we enjoy here on the coast. Learn about the 1866 San Mateo-Spanishtown turnpike, the 1874 Crystal Springs Resort, the first vineyard planted in California, and Lower Crystal Springs Dam, completed in 1890 as the largest concrete structure anywhere in the world.
Thanks to Ray Day, watch the presentation replay:
Food Drive for Coastside Hope
FILL THE FOOD DRIVE BARREL IN THE ODD FELLOWS LOBBY
This is an exciting partnership between UU Coastside and Odd Fellows. Many people living on the Coastside are experiencing greater food insecurity. Coastside Hope maintains a food pantry that is open every weekday and allows those in need to “shop” for the foods they need at no cost. With funding cuts their supplies are running low.
A Message From Grand Master Rita Cooper
HAVING FUN SERVING OTHERS
Odd Fellowship is not a religious organization. It is more inclusive than any single religious organization. We share our Fellowship with all faiths, all races, all stations in life. Male and female, young and not so young, rich and not so rich, all are welcome to Odd Fellowship.
