LODGE ACTIVITIES
Are you ready for May? Well, here we go! We have some fun activities planned for you this month. We start off with Youth awards on Saturday May 4th at 11:00. Come see some of the shining stars of tomorrow. Bingo will happen after at 2:00 PM. It’s sure to be a fun time. Saturday May 11th, the Texas Hold ‘Em card game will start at 1 PM. Please sign up in the lounge if your planning on playing. This change of days is due to Mother’s Day on Sunday May 12th. Speaking of Mother’s Day, the ceremony will start at 10:00 AM. Please join us to celebrate all Mothers, both here and departed. Following the ceremony, there will be a special version of Bingo. Then, Bingo happens again on Saturday May 18th at 2:00 PM. AND, later that day, we have KARAOKE!! It will run from 5 PM-9 PM. Join us for a super fun time. Come and sing your favorite tunes, or just cheer on all the other singers. Texas Hold ‘Em returns to it’s regular day-Sunday on May 26th at 1 PM. Sign up in the lounge so we know how many tables to set up. Darts are on the back patio every Saturday at 4 PM. Check it out. On Monday May 27th, the flags will go up on Oracle Road to honor Memorial Day. They go up to half-staff at 7 AM, then to full staff at noon, and then down at 5 PM. Please come out and lend a hand.
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
We have had quite a few “stuff-a-bag” projects lately. I want to thank all the volunteers who have helped make these projects so successful. I will let you know about future projects that we can participate in, Stay tuned.
Spring is finally here, and the weather has been perfect, but it also seems the heat could be right around the corner. We’ve done some spring cleaning. I can’t thank Chris and Walt Ahlstrom enough for tackling the patio. In addition to power washing the patio, they also cleaned all the seat cushions. The patio looked great for the Veteran Committee’s Dart Tournament which was held on April 20. I’d also like to thank that committee for helping Rhiannon get organized for the busy morning. Sarah Murray also helped stock in the afternoon.
Cindy Weiss and Pam Wedwaldt attacked the kitchen with vengeance. The cabinets and refrigerator were sorted through and thoroughly cleaned. Things look terrific. The social quarters will be next, but there will be some surprises. The board of directors is working to correct some plumbing issues which seem to be never ending. Once plumbing fixes are completed, the board will be remodeling the entire bar and back bar!
The Major Projects Committee (Lisa Chavez, Cindy Weiss, Gloria Cisneros) hosted the Mimosa Brunch on April 13th. The committee along with several volunteers transformed the lodge room. They also received food donations from several members and raised over $2,000 for Arizona Elks Major Projects which ER Doug will deliver to the Convention in May. Any committee wishing to hold a fundraiser is always welcome to do so in our facilities. Simply contact Alane or Pam or attend a house committee meeting.
Unfortunately, we are still looking for a third bar steward. Marie and Rhiannon have been terrific this month working extra shifts. We are looking to hire another bar steward to work Mondays and Wednesdays. Anyone interested should reach out to Pam Wedwaldt or Alane Asp via email at house@elks2815.org.
Fraternally,
Alane
