REINSTATEMENTS
If you know anyone who has been dropped from the roles for non-payment of dues and would like to return to the Lodge, our by-laws permit us to waive the re-instatement fee for the months of January and February. Please let them know – we would love to see them back!
2023-24 DUES
We are now one full month into the new Lodge year. If you haven’t paid your dues yet,
please pay them as soon as possible. Knowing that things sometimes don’t make their
way to the top of the pile, I give the month of April as a grace period. There will be a
delinquent list posted at the bar in May. If you have paid your dues, but for some reason
haven’t received your card (it happens), please let me know so I can correct it.
LIFE MEMBERSHIP
If you have been a member of our Lodge for 30 consecutive years and are at least 65 years of age, you are eligible for life membership. If this is you, please let the Lodge know by email to elks644@elks644.comcastbize.net and we will address this for you.

WEEKLY EVENTS AT THE LODGE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT BINGO - WEEKLY
BINGO is held every Wednesday, upstairs. Doors open at 5pm and the early bird is at 6pm. BINGO has a MUST GO jackpot of $500, and we have an all paper BINGO with a $15 minimum packet.
Volunteers are always needed to sell packets, sell tickets during BINGO and to call the second half of BINGO.
Please contact Terry Hendrickson if you are able to help.
DART LEAGUE
Dart league starts the first Thursday in January and will run about 12 weeks. The start time is 6pm and finishes up around 9pm. The cost is $20 per person for the year. The league does a weekly 50/50 and that pays for a great banquet at the end of the season. Join us for a GREAT TIME!
Any questions, see Bonnie on a Thursday evening at the Lodge or call/text Shelly.
Ladies’ In-House EUCHRE League
In August of 2020, we started playing EUCHRE upstairs on Tuesday’s. It quickly became a weekly game. We started out with 2-3 tables, but the threat of COVID forced the Lodge closed and halted play. To continue playing, we met at various homes and grew to 4 full tables (which became difficult to host). Weekly meetings moved to the Anchor Inn where we were able to enjoy dinner and games. However, as we grew, we had to relocate due to parking issues. When AttaBoy’s took over the Elks Kitchen, we were able to come back to the Lodge on Thursdays and enjoy EUCHRE now that the kitchen was open. We eventually switched to meeting every other week, giving everyone a much needed break. That’s a bit of our history. The ladies enjoy their night out. We currently have a list of almost thirty girls!
If you would like to join us, please contact Terri Bowser.
Men’s Traveling EUCHRE League
The 2022-23 season came to an end with the team missing the playoffs by one game. On a positive note, a banquet was held and awards were given to players playing to perfection – 9 game winners:
- Dave Balog
- John Kania
- Bob Melon
- Bob Morrow
- Greg Prohaska
- George Rapp
Your top 3 high average players are:
- George Rapp 60.4%
- Dave Balog 57.9%
- Bob Melon 54.6%
The player of the year is GEORGE RAPP!
The team would like to thank the Elks for their continued support.
Just a reminder, if anyone would like to join the traveling team please contact LOUIE PRIGNON at 724-889-7277 or email at lprignon@comcast.net
