Happy May Everyone!
Here’s what we have planned for you this month. Saturday May 3 rd , we have a very busy day. First, we have the youth awards at 11 AM. Then, Bingo happens at 2 PM. Come and check out both of these events. We will have Bingo 2 more times this month. Mother’s Day Bingo follows our wonderful ceremony honoring all our Mothers, both here and departed. The Mother’s Day ceremony starts at 10 AM. Please attend and experience this awesome ceremony. The last Bingo game is scheduled on Saturday May 24th , right after the Have A Heart Mimosa Brunch. Lisa and Cindy and crew have a great fundraiser planned from 11AM-1 PM. There will be raffle baskets and good food, and oh yes, Mimosas!!! The proceeds benefit the Elks major projects fund-a very worthwhile charity. Please come! The Texas Hold ‘Em card game will be held at 1PM on SUNDAY May 25th . The May 10th games has been cancelled. Please note the two different days, and remember to sign up in the lounge so we know how many tables to set up. Darts are on the back patio at 4 PM on most Saturdays. Please check the calendar to confirm dates. Wednesdays are changing again. This month we’ll have tacos and trivia on the second Wednesday-that’s on the 14th . Then on the fourth Wednesday we will have our full dinner and Music Bingo. Tacos are $2.00 each, and are served from 4:30-6:00, or until sold out. Trivia starts at 6 PM. Dinners are served from 5-6, music Bingo starts at 6. Dinner is still only $15.00 per person. On Wednesday May 21st , we are having a guest chef make us an awesome meal. Adam Mount will be cooking up his famous smash burgers along with crispy potatoes! They are soooo good. The price for this special meal will be $12.00 per person. Please find the sign up sheet in the lounge so we know how many to cook for. We will try to keep some food on the other Wednesdays as we can, depending on interest and volunteers. Saturday May 24th , will be another action packed day. There is a blood drive from 9-2 PM, then the Mimosa Brunch from 11-1 PM, then Bingo at 2 PM, and darts at 4:00! Something for everyone. A new addition to our calendar is the “Iron Chef Elk” cookoff. We will pick an ingredient on May 2nd after the Queen of Hearts. That ingredient must be present in your dish. It will be a fun competition and if you want to help determine the winner, it is only $5.00 per person to taste/judge. The winner will pick a charity of their choosing to donate the winnings to. The fun starts at 5:30 PM. Should be a very fun time. Enjoy the month!
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES We don’t have any current activities planned for this month. I will keep you informed of our next project. If you have any new ideas for projects, let me know. Thank you.!

The committee is busy planning all the details, but one thing is for sure—Bottomless Mimosas are back! That’s right! We’re not just serving up the classic Orange Juice & Champagne, but also exciting new mimosa recipes for you to discover. Who knows? You might just find a new favorite! Don’t worry, traditionalists, your classic OJ mimosa will be ready and waiting. Plus, we’ll have Bloody Mary’s and an array of delicious brunch treats to enjoy.
