January 30, 2013 is the 5th Wednesday of the month, so that means that this Lodge Night is also Fun Night!

We will be having an open meeting, beginning at 7:00 pm, and we want you to come to "Virginia Downs" to watch our Human Horse Racing!

Come out to see which of your Elk Brother and Sisters are thoroughbreds and which ones are ready for the glue factory!

This will be a fundraising event, with the proceeds to go 50-50 to Mary's Kitchen and the State Major Project (Purple Pig) - both in memory of Virginia "Ginny" Perez.

We will need some volunteers to help set-up and run the races, so if you are interested, please meet at the lodge around 6:00 pm that evening.

Also, we will need 36 'horses' for the races as well.
