Traditionally the events leading to the Golf play are as much fun as the golf play is itself! If you have not seen it then you must see it for yourself!

ATTENTION: PERS, PDD's, Lodge Officers, Members and Friends

We are seeking volunteers, sponsors, golfers, and donations. There will be a raffle of various items (some highly desirable).
All participants will be treated to a box lunch, loot bag, free drink(s), and other items as they arise.

We will have the traditional but never old 50/50 raffle, cash putt chip, and straight drive contest. Great prizes for each of 4 PAR 3's and hole in one - now you all know that Tiler Tony and Trustee Frost Walker can hole the Ace too!

Last but certainly not least is the Famous Awards Banquet! The banquet will be held at:

Yep ! He is still missing. We've found 35 inhabitants of the Land of Hoyle & old Jacko & one of his Joker cousins are still wondering around. The Elks have been assigned to locate him with an ever increasing Bean Pot as the reward. As of May 1st the Bean Count was approaching 4000.

If you want to join the posse then be at The Lounge Thursdays 9PM sharp !!

Cinco de Mayo - OLE !!!!

Join us in The Lounge on Monday, May 5th to celebrate Mexico's heritage & pride. Traditionally the observance includes food, music & dancing. Sounds like something we Elks do just about everyday, so Eddie will be puttin out the tacos & the bartenders will be mixing those margaritas.

Rumor has it that the Line Dancing crowd will be on the floor with a couple of "Mexican Line Dances"

Beginning in May - Extended hours and new food specials for Happy Hour

We know you're out there... sign up for the talent show!

Inaugural Ball - Awards and Recognition

Congratulations to our Elk of the Year for 2007 - 2008... Harry Deveaux. He's one of the hardest working members of our lodge and he made it possible for us to have the four flat screen TVs that are now installed in the lounge.

In case you missed it, Harry was featured in one of Elsa's Interesting Member profiles a few months ago. You'll find it on page 9 of the December 948 Reporter.
