Dear Torrington Elks Members,
We have a fun February on tap to keep us busy and out of the cold weather! We don’t have a large budget to hire entertainment weekly; our team does a great job with in-house events to bring the fun! Last month’s Disco Night was a blast, and this month’s Couple’s Trivia is sure to bring some laughs. If you have any ideas for additional in-house events please reach out!!
Special Olympics is one of the Connecticut Elks Association’s Major Charities that all CT Lodges are asked to support. PER Rich Slevinsky is helping us raise funds for this worthy charity by bringing in an Elton John Tribute on February 7th. This show was fantastic the last time we had him in a couple years back. The voice along with the costume changes—complete with the funky glasses—will have you thinking Sir Elton has joined us! Don’t miss this show and help a great cause.
We also have music by The Ebba’s coming to the members lounge in February and they will get your toes tapping! They play all the favorites and our dance floor will be packed. Come join the fun—attend the Elk and Officer of the Year dinner and then stay for the band! Details are below.
In February we begin looking towards the new Elk year, which begins on April 1. New officers are nomi-nated and elected during the February Lodge meetings. This is your chance to take action for the future of our Lodge. Get involved. Take the time to know who is leading our Lodge and offer them your sup-port. The future of our Lodge depends on it!
PER Sue Zordan has planned a PER meeting for early February, and has asked me to provide a list of all the events, community support, and Lodge upgrades completed in the 2025-2026 Elk year. I am thrilled to say that this is a long list! Look for it in next month’s journal!
Stay safe and warm—it’s been a while since we’ve had a cold, snow winter!!
Fraternally, Jean
