I have been trying to figure out how I could thank the people responsible for making our Annual Valentine Dinner and Dance for our Special Gatherings Group so spectacular. From the members that decorated and made gifts behind the scenes, to the members that gave their time on Valentine’s day to serve our guest. To DJ Joe Pendarvis and his lovely wife Betty for playing the music. To Charles and Faye Rister with Thrivent. To all the individuals that made private donations I can’t thank all of you enough. Our Biggest Surprise of the night was JJ and Ashley Lamb of Shorty’s Smokin Butt’s and Tommy Osteen of Colleton County Board of Disabilities for donating dinner to our event. I do not know how we can show our appreciation for everything everyone has contributed to make such a wonderful event possible. Special Gatherings made memories that they will not forget. We crowned a King & Queen, gave away door prizes, t-shirts and candy and danced the night away. Thank all of you for making this night so special for them. I am proud to be a part of the Walterboro Elks # 1988 and everything we do for our community.
Walterboro Elks Lodge #1988 would like to welcome our newest member Ms. Kalani Simmons. Please give her a warm welcome.
Members from the Lodge attended the Elks Winter Convention over the weekend. We saw old friends and made new friends. I always get excited when other Lodges come up and asked how we do all of the great work at the Lodge. I tell them that we have great members willing to Volunteer a lot of time to make it work. Walterboro Elk Lodge is number 1 in my book.

Some photos from the parade last night. First of all, I want to thank Richard and Dawn Blatter for helping. Elroy was a big hit. Kids love to see him. I heard a lot of kids saying that he came to our school, we love you, parents saying thank you for being out there teaching our kids not to do drugs. So on to the next event. Elroy said to tell everyone Merry Christmas and God Bless.
