Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you well and 
warm!
Last weekend was a lot of 
fun at the Clubhouse, absolute amazing Friday night 
dinner and super fun Bar 
Bingo with the Queen
of 
Hearts on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who partook!!
It's Fat 
Tuesday on the 17th and we'll be celebrating by clearing out our 
cupboards with our breakfast-for-dinner special! I'm not sure if we'll have a King 
Cake, but I do believe we have beads!
Here's a little tidbit about Fat Tuesday:
Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras, is a traditional, festive “last feast” held the day before Ash Wednesday to indulge in rich foods like meat, sugar, and fats (paczki, king cake) before the fasting, reflection, and 40-day abstinence of Lent. It marks the culmination of Carnival season with parades, 
masks, and celebrations in various cultures.
Wednesday, February 18th is Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. This is a request from Pope Leo XIV “I would like to invite you to a very practical and frequently unappreciated form of abstinence: that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor.” Ash Wednesday marks the start of the 40-day Lenten season for Christians, beginning a period of fasting, reflection, and repentance leading to Easter. Held on February 18, 2026, it involves services where ashes, typically from previous Palm Sunday palms, are placed on worshippers' foreheads in a cross, symbolizing mortality and sorrow for sins.
The Friday night dinner is Shrimp 
Alfredo, (with homemade Alfredo Sauce), garlic bread, side 
salad and 
dessert for $15.00. Please pre-order here: https://tinyurl.com/57knnhnj
