What is a Robert Burns Supper? It’s a celebration of the life and poetry of the poet and Scottish national hero Robert Burns, traditionally held on or near the poet's birthday in January, known as Burns Night.What can I expect? The evening will involve drinks, music including performances by a bagpiper, a full formal meal, and poetry.
What will the proceeds go towards? Half of the profits will go to the Hoboken Elks Lodge maintenance fund which allows us to maintain and improve our historic lodge, so that we can continue to hold events like this. The other half will go to American Legion Post 107 and its charitable arm, the Veterans Center of Hoboken who are expanding their facilities to provide secure, affordable housing and other vital services including physical and mental health care and employment opportunities for struggling veterans.
Where is it? The event will be held in our beautiful hall on the 1st floor of the lodge. (1005 Washington Street, Hoboken NJ 07030 for our guests.)
