Waterford Elks to host Euchre tournaments supporting youth programs and Memorial Day Parade

During the recent Board of Trustees meeting held on March 10, 2025, the Town Council of Waterford, Michigan, discussed several community-focused initiatives aimed at enhancing local engagement and support for youth programs.

One of the key announcements was the upcoming Carlos Raffle, with ticket sales set to begin for members the following day. This raffle is expected to generate funds that will benefit various community projects. The tickets are priced at $100, with an option for an additional $50 for an extra selection, making it accessible for community members looking to contribute.

In addition to the raffle, the council highlighted a series of five Euchre tournaments scheduled to take place at the Waterford Elks. These tournaments are designed to support Waterford Youth Assistance and help cover costs associated with the Waterford Memorial Day Parade. The tournaments will occur every Sunday at 2 PM, starting March 23, except for Easter Sunday. This initiative not only aims to raise funds but also fosters community spirit and involvement.

The meeting also touched on the importance of these events in light of the expenses incurred for the Memorial Day Parade, which is a significant local tradition. The council encouraged residents to participate in the tournaments to help alleviate some of these costs.

Overall, the discussions at the meeting underscored the council's commitment to community engagement and support for local youth programs. As these events approach, they are expected to strengthen community ties and provide necessary funding for important local initiatives.
