Summer just does not want to leave! I always thought heading back to school meant cooler weather, but not this year. Regardless of the weather, your Lodge is still a cool place to be, and September is no exception. Our legendary PER Fish Fry starts off the month on Labor Day, and we have lots of great events to fill out September. Too hot to do anything outside? Come in and check out the Auxiliary Auction Table. Thank you to Janet Box for making this happen! Entertainment, food and fellowship--there is something for everyone this month. Be sure to put your newsletter calendar where you can review it every day! Remember to visit Club 609 on the 2nd Monday of the month to dine in or take out. (Thank you to Linda for her continued support of our Christmas Basket project!) There are many new faces at the Lodge. Be sure to go up and introduce yourself if you do not know someone. We are a family of Elks, and we should make each new member feel welcome! If you know of a member ill at home or in the hospital, please tell our secretary or one of the bartenders in the Lounge. Sometimes a prayer is all we can offer up, and we all need someone praying for us. Like Elks across this nation, your Lodge is loud and proud. With all Elks across this great nation we are answering the call of Grand Exalted Ruler Tim Jaeger: Ready Elks---Let's Go! Come out and see what you have missed!
It's Great to Be an Elk!
