LODGE ACTIVITIES
Well, it’s December. I can’t believe that 2024 has gone by so fast. Here’s what we have planned for you this month.
Saturday December 7th is Pearl Harbor Day. We’re putting the flags up on Oracle Road. They go up at 7 AM, and come down at 5 PM. Please come and give us a hand. That same day, is the Kids shopping day. We start at Walmart for some clothes shopping, then up to the Elks for a holiday party. What a great experience for everyone!
Our Christmas get-together is scheduled for Saturday December 14th. It’s a “Grill your own Steak” event. Bring your own steak or something for the grill and the lodge will supply the salad, potatoes, bread and dessert. It’s only $6.00 per person. Please sign up and pay in advance in the lounge by December 9th. Whiskey and Bad Decisions will entertain us from 6-9. Come for the good eats and good times. We’ve got Bingo on Saturday December 21st at 2 PM. The Texas Hold ‘Em card game is on Saturday December 28th at 1 PM. Please sign up in the lounge so we know how many tables to set up. Football is every Sunday starting at 11 AM. Come watch your favorite team on our many TV’s. There is a lunch/snack available for purchase. Darts are on the back patio every Saturday at 5 PM, except none on the 14th. Tacos and Trivia is scheduled for Wednesday December 18th.
The lounge will have limited operating hours on Tuesday the 24th and also on Tuesday the 31st. Hours will be 1-7. On Christmas Eve, come down for Alane and Steve’s special tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. YUM!!
Mark your calendars…..we will have Karaoke on Saturday January 4th. The lodge will be closed on Wednesday the 25th. New years day 1/1/25, will be regular hours-1-7.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO !!
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
I want to thank everyone who helped create the Thanksgiving food kits on Saturday November 23rd. Our Elks lodge put items like potatoes, dressing, vegetables, and gravy in bags to be distributed to our less fortunate neighbors. Impact of Southern Arizona-our local food bank-hosts this project every year and I’m proud to acknowledge our participation in this very rewarding endeavor.
Another Impact event was their 25th anniversary party. We were invited to participate because of our ongoing relationship with them. We had a table where we greeted guests and let them know who we are and some of the Elks’ projects we coordinate within the community. There were three of us at the event. Me, Kim McIIlonie, and Lisa Hensley.
AND, the “Adopt a Family” project is almost complete. Our lodge “adopts” 20 children from the local food bankImpact of So. Az. We purchase toys, clothes and art supplies to be delivered to local families who need a little assistance in making their Christmas a little merrier. If you’d like to make a monetary donation you can write a check to “Catalina Mt. Elks” and write adopt a family in the memo line. We can accept donations until December 10th.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Wow is it December already? This year seemed to fly by, at least for me. The good thing is we are finally out of the 90’s. Thank you to all those who stepped up this past month to help with Tacos, Wednesday and Friday dinners and our Boots & Brisket Party. We have lots planned for this month, see Lodge Activities for dates and details. Don’t forget, if you have an idea for an event or a suggestion for the committee, please join us the first Thursday of the month at 4:30. I hope to see some of our new Lodge members and more of our House Committee members there.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
