Crocuses are popping up and even the jonquils are blooming. While Spring is beginning, our Lodge year is ending and we thank those officers who have given so much of their time and talents to make our Lodge successful. Those following them next year have some "big shoes" to fill! But the end of our Lodge year doesn't mean fewer activities at your Lodge. 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: we are striving to "Be the Difference" in Joplin and the surrounding four-states community. Come out and see what you have missed!
It's Great to Be an Elk!
Joplin Lodge #501 was instituted May 15, 1899, and remains committed to serving the needs of the "four-state" area. As members of the premier charitable organization in our nation, we offer scholarships to area High School Seniors, support our Veterans, and participate in the other charitable programs of the Grand Lodge.
We are located at 1802 West 26th Street, Joplin, MO. We open daily at 11am.
