Monday Night Football
Football Fun Has Begun
That’s right! The NFL season has officially begun! No doubt the blood pressure and anxiety levels of all our football fans have diminished greatly! In the meantime, the MNF Committee is in full speed ahead mode to make sure everyone has a great time on Monday nights.
​
September 8 officially kicks off (yes, the pun was intended), with our first game of the year. Come out for a great $10 dinner and enjoy the festivities that come with Monday night football! The first game of the season will be the San Francisco 49ers hosting the New York Jets. The 49er’s have been perennial favorites the past few seasons to make the Super Bowl and the Jets will have QB Aaron Rodgers back for hopefully more than a few snaps. Should be a great game to start the season and it's even better at the lodge with cold beer, a Sloppy Joe meal for $10, door prizes and more. Doors open at 4:30 pm.​
Remember, anytime there is ask NFL game televised, we will have it on in the Nest and the McCalla Lounge. Also, college football will be even better this year with plenty of games on Saturdays, so come on down for both college and NFL games.
​
The MNF gang finished off the summer with several donations to our community including the Segerstrom girls volleball program, the District golf tournament, the HIVE youth program, Santa Ana Pop Warner, Santa Ana Pony League baseball, Casino night at the lodge and Saddleback girls flag football. Girls flag football exploded last year at the high school level with CIF sanctioning it as an official high school sport. Many schools just don't hassle the funding to have a program, so it was a great opportunity ofr our MNF committee to help out.

• large & small paper plates

We also supported the HIVE youth program with their graduation celebrations at Irvine Park. Several volunteers manned the barbeques, organized games and helped the kids enjoy the day. We also provided rides for kids staff to the Wild River water park for their summer event.
A huge thanks to all who support what we do. Your time, money and donations go to the neediest of the needy and they appreciate you too! If you know any group that might need support or assistance, have them email us at 794mnfchairman@gmail.com. They need to include the name of their organization, how much they need monetarily, and what they would use it for. Any group we donate to, once it’s approved, will be asked to attend a meeting here at the lodge so we can introduce them, have them speak about their group and get a photo with them.
