June News from ER Rich Herron

With the arrival of June, I am reminded of when I was a kid counting the days until the end of school. That was the only time other than Christmas when I counted down the days to be off. So what does June offer for us? First up, my wife and I will be traveling to Annapolis the second weekend in June for an Elks summer workshop. We will miss the running of the final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes. This is a fun day at the Lodge, so come and cheer on your favorite horse. While Flag Day is on the 14th, this year we will have our ceremony on the 15th, as the Boy Scouts who are an integral part of our celebration are not available on the 14th. Next up is Father’s Day on the 16th. Finally, summer arrives on the 20th. With its arrival, our Lodge begins one of our busiest times. We start with our famous chicken dinner on Thursdays, and continue the same on Fridays and Saturdays with DJs and food. As a result, keep in mind that we will need all the help we can get in order to keep up; so if you wanted to volunteer and haven’t yet, this is the time! On June 18th at our regular monthly meeting at 7:00 pm upstairs in the Flaig-Wagner Hall a vote will be held for one Trustee. Also, please take note that on Friday, the 21st, we will have rock, blues and live music by Short Term Memories.

The lineup of activities for June remains the same. Sundays start the week off with free bar bingo. Prizes range from beverages and specials to chicken dinners. Remember there is no cost to our members. Also, Orioles baseball will be on our televisions. Mondays bring in our shuffle bowl league at 3:00 pm as does Wednesdays at 6:45 pm. Tuesdays offer Orioles baseball with bartender Terry, and $1 hot dogs available along with special beer prices. We can’t forget Wednesday's bingo upstairs which is open to the public. There is also a snack bar available for goodies. This brings in a crowd; so if you have friends or family visiting, bring them in for a fun night. As for Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, we covered them above. We want our members to enjoy their Lodge and take part in what we have to offer. This is YOUR Lodge; come in and enjoy it.

In closing, remember volunteers are the lifeblood of our Lodge; without them we cannot operate up to our capabilities. This is your Lodge. Be proud to be a member of Ocean City Elks #2645 -- the best Lodge in our Association.

STAY SAFE!  BE HAPPY!
