On January 27 the Palms Dining Room was transformed into a jungle for the WGA 18-hole fun night event “It’s a Jungle in Here.” Members registered at the Ranger Station to receive their Safari Ticket. They fished for African Tiger Fish, Fed the lion – a corn hole toss, tried to catch a giraffe, and visited the animal rescue shelter to repair lost animal tails.
The tables were decorated for the jungle queens who enjoyed a delectable meal of, for example, Meerkat munchies (shrimp and veggie kabobs), Crocodile eyeballs (sweet and sour meatballs), and Elephant ears (tortillas stuffed with shredded lion – beef – meat)
Suddenly, to the delight of the women, the local jungle people from the “Village Pro-Shop” (led by their chief, Bob Kelly) all attired in their grass skirts, nose rings, spears, and torches, danced to the music of “Jungle Rock.” It was truly a sight to behold. Wild animals straight from Africa appeared on large screens. The wild sounds of animals, music, and laughter continued for hours. It truly was a “Jungle,” and the animals were on the loose.
A special thank you to F & B for a first-class meal; Bob Kelly and crew for entertainment; and Jane Breisch, who provided amazing wild life photos from her South African safari trip. Also, special thanks to the WGA Board for providing us the opportunity to plan this event. It was truly a roaring good time!
