Cigars, Bourbons and Philanthropy Story and photos by KAREN FUCITO Billed as a cigar and bourbon cruise on Miss Lotta—Lake Hopatcong’s only dinner boat—41 guests at the June event not only enjoyed high quality cigars and uncommon bourbons, they also helped raise $1,000. The event also served as a way to recruit new members for the Lake Hopatcong Elks Lodge. Funds raised helped defray the cost of a luncheon honoring veterans that was held at the Elks lodge on June 24. The luncheon followed two complimentary Salute to Veterans cruises on Miss Lotta, said Ed Parrillo Jr., Lake Hopatcong Elks Chairman of Veterans Committee. In the past, the luncheon had been held at American Legion Post 245 in Lake Hopatcong, but a fire last summer destroyed the building. “The Elks are pleased to be able to step in and host this year’s luncheon,” said Parrillo. The cigar and bourbon event was hosted by Miss Lotta’s six captains as a thank you to members of the community who have partnered with Lake Hopatcong Cruises over the years. The invited guests enjoyed a tasting put together by Capt. Lee Moreau, who presented bourbons produced in distilleries from the area in the south dubbed the Bourbon Trail, which are not available for purchase locally. Each guest received a complimentary cigar at boarding time, said Moreau. The cigars used for the fundraiser were sourced through an anonymous donor and were considered one of “the highest quality” cigars around, said Elks member Alex Banos. “This is a real community connection,” said Moreau. “We raised some money and hopefully we recruited more members for the Elks.” Top to bottom, left to right: Bruce Koerner, Rich Hoer, Brandon Dora and Nick Petrucelli.
