Although Syracuse Basketball isn't marching us into spring, there is a lot to enjoy at the Club and in the sporting world.
Come down to work on your golf swing and bring the kids to get a jump on their baseball swing in our hitting cages.
We are looking forward to the Master's with our annual Master's Challenge. A game board is attached here and can be returned to the Club with payment. Masters coverage begins on April 6th.
NCAA Basketball action daily!
Live European Soccer on regularly in the afternoon.
Baseball is getting underway and we will be happy to tune in to any available game you'd like to see.
Our Men's Monday basketball playoff's start this week at 6:00pm. Come down to see some interesting and entertaining basketball. You might not be impressed but you won't be dissapointed. Drinks are allowed in the gym but as always, take out what you bring in and let's keep the popcorn in the bar.
May 2nd! "Mint Juleps and Busted Lips" A Day of Thoroughbreds
'Mint Juleps" will be served all day in preparation for the running of the Kentucky Derby in the evening and then the scene will turn to boxing and the drink to "Bloody Manny's" as we prepare for the Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao boxing match. (Everyone may have their favorite but remember that Mayweather represents American Boxing). We are hoping to add some other events at the Club in between these two incredible sporting events. We will purchase the fight package.
Mark it on your calendar!
We have some fantastic new members to welcome!
Be sure to welcome and introduce yourself to new faces at the Club.

Fish Fry
We are constantly working to improve our menu and hours. As support for our kitchen grows we will be able to offer more. Our Friday Fish Fry has been successful and we have decided that we will continue this throughout the year. On Friday March 27th the Syracuse Elks will host the Fish Fry dinner.
Open Bowling
Fridays from 5:30 - 9:30
Bring your friends and family down for a fun night of bowling.
Baseball
We are hoping to enter a Pastime AC team in the Syracuse Men's Senior Baseball League. Players are needed. The Club will help with the costs and with fundraising.
Owen Donovan has volunteered to manage this team. Please contact Owen if interested at ragtimeball@aol.com.
Needs and Wants
We are planning to upgrade our front door buzzer to a video doorbell for the safety of our employees. This will give our employees the option of seeing/speaking to who is at the door before buzzing them into the building if needed. We are in need of a small tablet for the interface portion of the system. The tablet can be iOS iPod or iPad or an Android device of any size. If you have something that is not used and could be donated to the club it would be greatly appreciated.
We are always looking for old sporting material from Pastimes, Syracuse or any other local sports pictures, signs, banners, trophies etc, for Club rooms. These can be dropped off at the bar or left in the outer office.
News
Thank you very much to John Brown for restoring the old Welcome Pastime A.C. sign that hung in the gymnasium for many years, was destroyed and is now back and hanging proudly. This sign was also used in the past on the Club's St. Patrick's Day parade float. Thank's to Judd Davis, we have decided to register the Club in next years parade and resume this tradition.
Congratulations to our Chili Chowder Cookoff Winners.

We continue to work hard to participate and improve our neighborhood and community. We have joined the Greater North Salina Business Association. We are working with Northside UP to create beneficial partnerships with our neighbors. We are working with the Washington Square Park revitalization committee to offer volunteers and resources that will help them restore ("save") this landmark and important recreational space for our neighborhood's young people. We are committed to sponsoring charities that are important to our members. Please email us if you need space for a fundraiser or just a door prize.
