Yep 👍 will buy a sign.
Why are we changing the golf venue instead of supporting New Britain’s Stanley Golf Course? I would hope we would support our local golf course with the new upgrades such as new golf carts and driving range making it a state of art course in our own community.
Music by Moko’s tonight!

Good Morning My Brothers and Sisters,
Easter is fast approaching, and Once again the Lodge is gearing up for the holiday.
On Friday March 31st Karli Searle is back to teach the Polish tradition of Butter Lambs. She teaches people how to make them the original, traditional way, by hand.
Learn the skills needed to make a Lamb, for only 25 dollars, this includes all the supplies needed, instruction to make and a drink on the Lodge!
And all proceeds will be going to the Connecticut Breast Health Initiative.
She will be hosting two classes at 6pm, and 730 pm in the Parlor. Sign up sheets are at the Lodge and a total of 9 slots are available per class.
And on Saturday April 1st at 1pm we will be hosting the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Lodge.
Bring the kids and have them collect up all the eggs loaded with goodies, and stick around for juice and hot dogs afterwards.
There is no charge for the event but we do ask that you sign up so we can prepare properly for it.
Looking forward to seeing you at these events!
