Hello to everyone,
June was a busy month. Our Flag Day ceremony was very moving. Thanks to Eddie for doing a great job of organizing the ceremony. Special thanks to Tom Roach, the Girl Scouts, Lois, Jeff, Dave 13 and Bernie Payne for participating that day. This year we were able to give donation checks to both Wings of Flight and Buffalo- Niagara Honor Flight during the ceremony.
Well, summer is finally here. However, it was a little too warm for a few days. Elks care, Elks share!! Please try to check on elderly friends and neighbors in these extreme temperatures.
Grand Lodge awards were given out at our June meeting. Citizen of the Year was given to Andy "Duffy" Maess. Elks of the Year was given to Eddie Stulhmiller. Congrats to both, well deserved!
I would like to go over once more on exactly what was voted/approved by the House committee. The regular meetings are always held on the second Monday of the month. The House/Trustee meeting is held on the first Monday of the month. There are only 4 months that we have a second meeting on the 4th Monday. The months when we have two meetings are: February, March, April and October. On these two meeting months, the House/Trustee will be held on the second Monday at 6pm, before the regular first meeting. Please make note of this change.
To sum things up, this month is different, due to the holiday, July 8th is when our House/Trustee meeting will be at 6pm. Our regular meeting will follow at 7pm. Thank you.
Thanks to everyone who supported the Basket Raffle with donating baskets and buying tickets.
Also, thanks to our members who have supported the various bands this summer. Working together, we can make a difference.
God bless America! Wear R.E.D. on Fridays. Fraternally yours, Nancy Swiston
