College scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors. Member’s children and grandchildren are eligible. Scholarships are awarded on merit based on information provided with the application. Scholarship applications are available from the left side under "Scholarship"

Dinner Chairman:
The monthly Birthday dinners each require a dinner chairman. The chairman will pick the dinner menu and help recruit the wait staff. Chairing a dinner is a great way for you and your friends to enjoy and evening together helping out the Club.

Waiting tables:
Club members are involved in serving almost every dinner we put on. Depending on the event you may be asked if you can come down a little early and help set tables. You will enjoy dinner with your fellow waiters and then work serving the dinner and busing the tables. First timers are welcome and there will always be plenty of experienced people to help you out. Ask any waiter for more information. Volunteer waiters will receive their share of any leftovers to take home and their spouse may dine for free.

Bartending:
Bartenders working at the Club are all members. The club has a need for afternoon and nighttime bartenders. Some training is required. Ask any bartender for more information. Both waiting tables and bartending are great ways to meet and work with other Club members. Volunteer bartenders will receive their share of any leftovers to take home and their spouse may dine for free.
