LODGE ACTIVITIES
Welcome to April and the new Elk year 2025-2026 ! Here’s what is happening this month. We start
with the Kids Easter Shopping spree on Saturday April 5th. Please find the flyer and sign-up sheet in the lounge. You’ll find all the information you need to participate in this awesome project. We have Bingo scheduled for Saturday April 19th at 2 PM. Come and see what it’s all about. Texas Hold ‘Em
card games will happen on Sunday April 13th and again on the 27th . The games start at 1 PM. Please sign up in the lounge so we know how many tables to set up. Darts are on most Saturdays on the back patio at 4 PM. Please check the calendar to see if they are on.
We have a very special dart tournament on Saturday April 12th . The Veterans committee is hosting this fantastic event. Darts, raffles, and tons of fun. Sign up to play, and if you’re not playing, come watch. It really is a fun time.
Wednesdays are changing up beginning this month. Since participation has been low, there will be only one dinner per month on the 4th Wednesday of the month. There will be music bingo on that evening also. Dinner will be served from 5 till 6, music bingo begins at 6PM. Tacos and Trivia will be held on the 1st Wednesday of the month. All other Wednesdays we will offer tacos for the time being. We are looking at different options to offer on these days. Let us know if you have any ideas.
The end of the month has Grill your own Steak on Saturday April 26th at 5 PM. We’ll have a DJ starting at 6 PM for your entertainment. The cost is $6.00 per person and that includes baked potato, salad, bread and dessert. All you need to bring is something for the grill. You can cook your own, or if you want our master chefs Kyle and Jim will assist you. We will also have a DJ playing some music, and maybe some dancing or singing along?? You never know, but we do guarantee it will be fun.
Please sign up and pay in advance in the lounge.
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.!
HOUSE COMMITTEE
By Pam Wedwaldt
Greetings.
Welcome to all our newly installed Officers. Wishing you a successful year. By the time you are reading this our bar will finally be renovated to a beautiful and functional space. Thank all of you for your patience and understanding during the renovation. Many thanks to our bar stewards for all their hard work during the transition. We are still looking for someone to take over Cheryl Galligos position
as House Committee Secretary. If this is something you would be interested in, please contact Cheryl to learn what this entails. If you have an idea for an upcoming event or input as to how to make our Lodge more inviting, please join us at a meeting. We meet the first Thursday of the month at 4:30. Check out the Lodge Activities article to see what’s coming up.
Happy Easter!!
HAVE A HEART COMMITTEE ANNUAL EVENT
By Lisa Chavez
Elks Major Projects Committee Presents: Our 2nd Annual Mimosa Brunch!
We had such a blast at last year’s Mimosa Brunch Fundraiser that we couldn’t resist doing it again!
Mark your calendars because the date is set—May 24th, from 11 AM to 1 PM—with a special edition of Bingo to follow. A flyer with all the details will be coming soon. 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.
But wait, there’s more! Not only do we want you to attend, but we also invite you to participate: Are you an artist? Show off your work at the event! (For display only, not for sale.) Do you create an amazing charcuterie board? Bring your best one and impress us all! Have a favorite brunch item? Share it with the crowd! Want to donate a raffle basket? Yes, please! Your generosity is appreciated. The Major Projects Committee is all about putting the Fun in Fundraising! This event supports the Steele Children’s Research Center and the Jack C. Warter Jr. Youth Camp, helping us make a meaningful impact.
