New Hyde Park 

Doe Club

Dear Sister Does and my Elk friends,

As promised, so many wonderful functions and events from both the Does and the Elks have been well attended. I’m sure those of you who have come had a wonderful time. The Elks had a very successful Super Bowl party. I even won twice so I was very happy. Irish Night came early, and what a night it was. Food, music, raffles, and the Irish step dancers who stole the show. Carmela’s Casino Trip was on St. Patrick’s Day (next one is June). Birthday Night was at the end of March, the best dinner out you can get for $10.00. On March 26 the Doe Club held their Supermarket Bingo. Proceeds from this event benefit our Scholarship fund. A very successful evening—thank you Carol Cardiff and Karen Seligson for a fabulous night.

Mark your calendar and “Save these Doe Dates”.
