LODGE ACTIVITIES
Welcome to the long hot summer! Here are some cool events you can participate in, both in July and August.
In July, we start the month with Independence Day-Thursday July 4th. We will be putting the flags out on Oracle road. They go up at 7 AM, and come down at 5 PM. Please come and give a hand. We have Bingo scheduled on Saturday July 13th at 2 PM. It happens again on Saturday July 20th- again at 2 PM. The Texas Hold ‘Em card games are on Sunday July 14th and later on Sunday the 28th. The fun begins at 1 PM. Please sign up in the lounge so we know how many tables to set up. Darts are every Saturday at 4 PM on the back patio. We have an awesome mister system back there that will help cool of the patio. Wednesdays this summer feature a full dinner on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. The other Wednesdays we will offer tacos. They are $2.00 each, no sign up needed. They are served from 4:30-6:30 or until we run out. On our first try, we sold lots of tacos-everyone loved them. Come check them out. We are going to try something new on Wednesday July 17th-Tacos and Trivia. The tacos will be available from 4:30-6:00, and trivia directly afterward. Finally, on Saturday July 27th, were having a “Kick off the Summer” event. It is a potluck, and Whiskey and Bad Decisions band will entertain you. Find the flyer and sign-up sheet in the lounge.
In August we have Bingo scheduled for Saturday August 3rd. The game starts at 2 PM. Texas Hold ‘Em card games happen on Sunday the 11th and again on Sunday the 25th. The games begin at 1 PM. Please 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. Wednesdays will continue with a full dinner on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. The other Wednesdays we will serve Tacos. We’ll try Tacos and Trivia again on Wednesday August 21st. Tacos from 4:30-6:00, and the trivia afterward from about 6-8.
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
Our next big community project will be in September. Once again, our lodge will honor our first responders on September 11th. The plan is to assemble 10 teams of people, choose a firehouse and decide on a menu. We will not be offering the traditional “turkey dinner”, because turkeys are very hard to come by at this time of year. Think about a lasagna, salad, bread and dessert meal, or how about meatloaf, mashed potatoes, veggies and dessert meal. Something comforting and homemade is the theme. It seems like a ways off, but September will be here before you know it. There will be flyers and a sign-up sheet in the lounge. Please ask any questions and please sign up to be on a team. It’s really very rewarding. Thank you.
The summer heat is upon us! Not just in Arizona, but all over the country. I hope everyone is finding ways to stay cool. Steve and I enjoy floating in the pool at the end of the day.
Wednesday night tacos have been well received. Thank you to Chris Ahlstrom, Deborah Derting, Jan Trudeau and Cindy Weiss for their efforts. On Wednesday, July 17th and on August 21st, Pam Wedwaldt has arranged two Trivia Contests. Come on down and play as an individual or bring a team of friends. The cost for the event will be $5.00 per person ($3.00/pp goes to the prize fund). See the Lodge Activities article or posters in the lounge for more information.
Lisa Chavez, Major Projects Chair, is also organizing a fundraiser for Arizona Elks Major Projects on August 10th with the theme: Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner. See the flyer for further details. Cindy Weiss will also be organizing a Spaghetti Western on September 21st. This event will include entertainment and benefit Arizona Elks Major Projects.
Normally the House Committee meets on the first Thursday of each month. Since the July meeting falls on Independence Day, our July meeting will be held on July 11th at 4:30. Our August meeting will fall on the 1st. Please join us. We’re always looking for new ideas and volunteers to help with Friday night food and our other events.
Have a Happy 4th of July Holiday and a Great Summer. With no Bugle being published for the month of August, our next communication will be in September. Ellen Fitzgerald (web page manager) will keep our website updated. Catalina Mountain Elks Lodge - Elks, Charities (elks2815.org).
