Page 1 - Tis The Season!
The year has gone fast. We have "Put On The Ritz", celebrated "St. Patrick's Day", enjoyed "Apple Blossom Time", kicked up our heels to the "100th Anniversary of the Grand Ol' Opry" and got our kicks from "Route 66".
Now we get to celebrate "Christmas In November" to close out the 2025 dance season.
Bob Zaitz and Vicki Kuhn have been busy setting up everything for the dance. This takes a lot of time to organize the dance including: setting the menu working with the Lodge Chef, developing and build the centerpieces, selecting a band, and coordination with the Elks and the band. just before the dance begins.
Board member Ed Roberts arranges for the entertainment while Will Tomkeil keeps track of our membership. Paul & Mary Liles stay in the background and provide for the website services, take pictures, and act as the secretary during board meetings. Bill Capps counts the money and keeps us honest!
Bob Zaitz serves as President and also Editor in Chief for the invites and newspaper. Bob, along with the rest of the board, has been in office since 2014 and we are looking for new blood to continue the fun for this club.
Remember to carry a rock in your pocket this time of year. Whenever you hear someone singing a Christmas carol before Thanksgiving, I throw it at them. You can call it your jingle bell rock!
