As 2019 winds down and 2020 is lurking around the corner , the New Years Eve Party is on the agenda. The theme for New Years Eve, is the “Roaring 20’s,” where you will need a password to enter the Speakeasy. This password will be found on your ticket for the evening. Once you enter the Speakeasy, you will find that the Lodge has been transported back in time where flappers and gangsters roamed and period signature drinks will be on the menu and for dinner, prime rib with all the fixings with Dan and Starlene at the helm. The music for the evening will be by Donna Landry and the A Train – New Edition, with the selections of tunes spanning the 20’s through the 80’s. We will have the traditional champagne toast at midnight along with a brunch at 12:30 to finish the evening off. There will be vans for the evening but I would strongly advise most that can drive, drive to the lodge and then ride home in the vans as the vans may be overwhelmed at the beginning of the evening and you may be late for the “Ball.”
But before the “Ball,” we are once again offering HOOP SHOOT to the community on December 8th. This event is being headed up by Jack Harris and will be at St. Bernard High Academy gym. Please look for further information in this edition of the Herd Talk. We will need assistance with this event to assure a successful endeavor.
The Elk’s Children’s Christmas Party will be held on December 14th. Remember, our Youth Activities Chairman, Sherie Bialous PER does her best to purchase age and gender specific gifts for your children and grandchildren so when you sign up for this event, put the ages and gender down. The event includes lunch and gifts from Santa. Yes Santa will be making an appearance and maybe an elf or two!! Children are free and adults are $5.00, the menu for the event is child friendly food!!! So bring your children or grandchildren and be a kid too!!!
The annual ER Tom & Jerry Party is scheduled for Sunday, December 22nd from 2-5 PM. Come on out and share a toddy with me. As always, we need volunteers to assist in the kitchen and dining room throughout this holiday period, with your help we can remain a successful lodge. Speaking of volunteers, anyone who would like to help with the decorating for New Years Eve, come out to the Lodge on Sunday, December 29 at 10 AM.
Wishing all a very Merry Christmas and a very wonderful new year! Hoping to see you all at the Lodge throughout December!
