It's a wonderful place to rent out rooms for an event, small or big. There's the community room,…read morelounge and Hagan room available; just call for information and details. With renting the place out, there's also a large kitchen with fridge, stoves and other things that are available (just as long as things are kept clean and put back). Language classes are taught here by fluent speakers/teachers and membership with the I house will allow you to take any class you like (dance classes included too along with other event). There's storytelling for younger children each month and gathers for others weekly. Many other events happen weekly, just check on their website to see what's available and interests you :] Every year, the International House puts on the International Festival and there are many activities and performances. It's clear that everyone there is very passionate about their work and helping people out. Just come and check this place you, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. This place is just run by a few people so they can be stretched pretty thin. Don't hesitate to leave message and they'll get back to you as soon as they can. There are many volunteer opportunities here too! Final Thoughts: Very nice place to study with comfy chairs :]

A great place to play Bingo. I mean it, after yesterday's game I am hooked! Bingo is played here…read moreevery second Sunday, and each time it benefits a different charity. I paid $12 for one packet of Bingo games, and had fun playing with some friends for about three hours total. Next month I want to come again! Remember to bring cash to purchase bingo games, extra games, and to purchase drinkies and snacks from the snack bar. There were nachos, hot dogs, and chips available yesterday. Beer, wine, and soda were available drinkies. They also had free water and coffee provided. If you don't have your own dobber for Bingo they provide free rentals, but you can also buy one for $1 in cash. They also have raffles included with your Bingo packet, so hang on to that ticket. I won a bottle of Sobon Cab Sauv in one of the raffle drawings yesterday! :-) They have bathrooms downstairs and upstairs too, and though it does get busy we were easily able to find five seats together. Of course, two of us did show up early. For next time I will remember to again arrive early and bring cash for this cash only event. If you have never played legit Bingo before, they are patient and helpful. It is beginner friendly with many helpers available and walking around the room. Highly recommend! Yay Bingo! Outside food is fine. Street parking.

I've been going to Odd Fellows Hall for over a year now for various purposes. While I am usually in…read morethe upstairs room, I have also been to the downstairs meeting space. Ultimately, I think this is an awesome resource in our community! I love that various groups and communities are able to rent out the space for whatever the need. I also love all of the community events that they put on. From Bingo to movie nights, I love the effort they are putting into creating an awesome community space. The building itself is a bit out dated, but it is well maintained.

Inside it is an Art Gallery, and also a multipurpose activity/community space. Through the front door, which is located at the corner of 1st and E streets past some large art sculptures, is a book store of published art books, and to the left corner is a info/cashier counter and person. Past that opens up to a large multistory atrium area, filled with art, but also a couple of tables with 4-5 chairs each. In the hot Davis summers, this is a cool place to hang out, literally, as there is OPAC available for you (Other People's AC), and WiFi! Currently the artist featured on this floor is Mark Bullwinkle, an American artist with SF Bay Area roots and metal quirky sculpture installations, particularly in Emeryville and Berkeley, that he created with a blowtorch. Up the stairs or elevator to floor 2, there is a study/lounge that over looks the atrium below, with other artists' work in the nooks and crannies around the staircase and little rooms. The 3rd floor is a full art floor, with mostly ceramic sculptures from various artists. It is free to enter. I did an event here a year ago, a UC Davis student's birthday party with entertainment in the atrium space. And more recently I came here with 2 friends to chill in the OPAC and tables/chairs in the 1st floor Atrium before heading on to dinner on a lazy Sunday afternoon road trip.

After the performance, they were nowhere to be found. An hour before this, I went back, and it was in the lost and found! Before looking, the lady asked me about the sizes and colors. I appreciate that, because she wanted to make sure that I was the true owner of the clothing articles. I'm lame for doing this review, but I'm so happy I got the stuff back!!! Also, someone mentioned that lighting was bad. I've gone to several dress rehearsals and the staff patiently work with us to make sure we performers get what we prefer :) I'm going to miss performing at DDR at Freeborn Hall :(

For lu'au every year, I'm pleased with the tables of eight and how they are laid yet (and yet there's enough room for dancers to go through tables!). For shows like DDR, I like the seating on the main floor, and the seating on the side. For dance rehearsals, w00t for accommodating Freeborn staff! Minor grip-age, if you will: why is the dance room at the ARC technically bigger than Freeborn's stage?? Yeah, makes it's a tad bit difficult/ANNOYING that that is the case. You practice your steps and placement 1231800x only to discover that you need to downsize your steps. [end gripe]
