We just finished a busy month at your Elks Lodge with some exciting events having taken place. We experienced busy times during the New Year’s celebration, with the officers and trustees thoroughly enjoying serving many of you for free Tom and Jerrys and Bloody Marys. Lots of chili was on-hand and thousands of dollars was raised and paid-out to the military-oriented recipients at the Brother’s Keeper’s Motorcycle Club chili cookoff. I received many good comments from people who attended about the nice bunch of individuals from this club who made this event fun and friendly. We can’t wait to have them back for next year’s event! Hopefully you had a chance to partake in the Bismarck-Mandan Elks Men’s Chorus breakfast and bake sale which was recently held. This talented group of men and their leaders are well-known and respected throughout our community and beyond and it is good that we can support them in this manner. Looking forward to February, the Elks is the place to be at Super Bowl time! Be sure to stop in at the Theodore Roosevelt Bar upstairs for the big game on February 1st and enjoy free food at half time and drink specials. If your team didn’t make it you can always show up for the commercials. [Read more…]
