I would like to thank everyone who attended the Elks Annual Officers Golf Outing and the many, many volunteers that made the whole day a huge success.  This was our first attempt at providing the food for the day & everything was great!  Before teeing off we enjoyed the brats that have become a trademark of the outing and after golf sat down to a steak dinner complete with all the fixings.  Just a reminder: you do not have to be an officer to attend this outing and you’re missing a great day of fun - hope you’ll join us next year! 

We now have a brand new, large gas grill for the king pin lounge. This will be very useful for the family picnic, steak frys, and other upcoming events.

We celebrated Flag Day at the Vets Home on Saturday, June 13.  This is a very nice ceremony honoring the flag of our country and it was broadcast to all the rooms in the home where 750 vets reside on Monroe Ave.

The next big event will be the family picnic on Aug 1.  Please plan on packing up the family and come on out to the Elks for the day.  Give Diane Dusendang or the Lodge office a call if you would like to volunteer for any of the events.

Fraternally yours,

Dave
