Although a bar crawl may sound fun to some, it seems to give the Elks Lodge a negative influence. The Elks Lodge is respected and does so much for the community and CCMC why bring it down to this level? Hope I’m not the only party pooper.
Seams like fun!!!
Always has to be a “KAREN”!
What a great opportunity to show New Britain that we support events in the community and a way to get some people to join the lodge and support us in continuing our charitable works. I'm looking forward to this
45 minutes to tour the downtown area as it continues to evolve. Keep doing you Debra Scarlett .
I think this is a clever event to get us to support some local business & spread the word of what the Elks are really about. It also allows us to network with other businesses. This is an adult activity & I have faith, based on anyone I have met through the lodge & whoever decides to attend, will do a great job representing the NB Elks.
This is going to be a great time!
This will also spread the word that there are great places in downtown New Britain to have a fun time
Debra Scarlett you do alot of good things for the club I am with you 😉
We’ll be there!! 🍺
Debbie I agree with you 100%. You do a lot for the club.
Lillian Pietrzak we want to do a chilli cook off soon too! That should be fun!
That sounds like fun. And delicious
Thank you for posting and supporting. This lodge is amazing, and a recent fundraiser left a few outside guests interested in joining.
