Message from the Exalted Ruler
I want to thank everyone who attended the meal I hosted in June for Cerebral Palsy. Everyone seemed to enjoy the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Thanks to Anna Enciso for helping. We can look forward to some more delicious meals to benefit our Elks charities. Remember, while our meals are only open to members and guests, we offer to-go plates. If you can’t eat at the Lodge, call 546-2799 and we will have your plates ready for pick-up. No one likes to cook during hot weather, so let the Elks do it for you.
The visit from State President Jim Larrabee and his wife Josie went well, even though attendance at dinner on the 26th was low. The President and First Lady enjoyed steaks, and Jim even joined in karaoke. Jim and Josie also received a tour of the new Lodge and were impressed.
It is with great regret that we had to declare the office of Loyal Knight vacant. Daniel Galvan, who was elected to the post, has failed to show up for the past three months. Nominations were opened on June 18th, one person was nominated, but declined. Nominations will again be accepted on July 16th, and an election will be held. Also, if anyone is interested in becoming Lodge Esquire, please see me. The District Deputy will be visiting very early (Sept. 3rd) and we need to get going on ritual.
We have a lot on the calendar for July. The Float Committee will be hosting a 4th of July party at the New Lodge beginning at 4 pm. Hotdogs and Hamburgers furnished, and members are asked to bring a dish to pass. BYOB and folding chairs.
July 11th will be Volunteer Firefighters Night, and members of all three departments will be invited for a pork loin dinner. Funds from an ENF gratitude grant and Bingo charity monies will be presented.
The PER Dinner will be on a new night. Our delicious ribeye steaks will be served on Saturday, July 25th, still from 6-8 pm.
I will be attending the Grand Lodge Convention in Portland, OR representing our Lodge July 5-10th. I plan to return on July 11th. In my absence, our Leading Knight will be in charge.
And last but not least, thanks to Building Chairman Ollie Cooper and Member-Contractor Ed Mills for getting us Bingo in our new Lodge.
Yours in Elkdom,
Mike Hedrick ER
