Lancaster Elks Lodge

My memories of the Lancaster, Elks Club are remembered so fondly! My Grandfather, Dr. James Maurice Westerman, ‘Westy’ went every day after his practice would close for a cocktail, most likely a Martini! We would visit from MA and would often go for dinner. It was strictly suit coat and ties, white tablecloths and napkins and VERY formal. I was quite young, 1960’s and 1970’s era and just enjoyed being with my ‘Pop Pop’ and ‘Mimi’ and feeling VERY, VERY special being able to actually see where my Grandfather disappeared to at 6:00 every evening! So NOT disappointed! I remember the food being served by a waiter in a white jacket and the plates were covered with silver cloches on HUGE trays! Wonderful memories to have! My Grandmother passed away on July 5, 1974, 49 years ago tomorrow which made me think of those special occasions spent at the Elks Club in Lancaster!
