Greetings to All Wandering Elks!!!
Spring has certainly sprung and with it comes the return of all of our Elks who seem to find it necessary to "roam" in a Southerly direction
when it's winter up here.
As you return be advised that YOUR LODGE is still here, serving Tuesday evening meals, and a full breakfast on the first Saturday of each month, like clockwork.
If you picked up a new favourite dish during your winter hiatus, and would like to share it on a random Tuesday evening meal night, let us know. It's always nice to have new faces and ideas in the kitchen, plus it gives current volunteers a much deserved break.
Your Lodge remains open daily on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Currently, The Lodge is open on Fridays too, but this may be changing for the upcoming summer months, due to low turnout on Fridays.
Your Lodge is still actively initiating, and always looking for, new members so if you have someone in mind, propose them for membership
and let's get them initiated.
If you have not visited Your Lodge in a good while, you really should stop by and check out all of the very recent improvements and updates.
The banquet/meeting room is totally renovated, and the bar/lounge area has very recently been given a much needed update and facelift.
Watch for external front yard and driveway area improvements upcoming this year as well.
On Saturday May 11th there will be a gala Elks Lodge 75th Anniversary Awards Banquet.
Please RSVP for this Members Only event as soon as possible.
After the Awards Banquet the Lodge will be opened up to the General Public at 7 PM for outstanding live music and entertainment by the spectacular REMEDY BAND!
THE THEME OF OUR 75TH ANNIVERSARY BIRTHDAY PARTY IS
ONWARD INTO THE NEW MILLENNIA!!
This carries us from 1999-2024.
As we enter into the 2024-2025 Elks Membership Year, let's all strive to make the next 25 years, as progressive and forward thinking as the last 25 years have certainly been around here at The Dunkirk Elks Lodge BPOE# 1776.
There's a lot to be proud of.
Come out on May 11th and see what all of the buzz is about!!
SEE YOU AROUND YOUR LODGE!!
P.S.
We still hold a monthly drawing on the second Saturday of each month at 7:00.
We are starting a weekly drawing which will be held every Saturday at 7:30 PM beginning in May.
Keep up to date with current Lodge Calendar events on our Lodge Website and The Lodge Facebook page. This is where you will find up to date, current, Lodge information.
