With this being my final article all I can think of is what a great year I had as
being your Exalted Ruler. I know it is probably customary to thank people who
have helped with this great year but I cannot. I thank each and every one of you
because greatness isn't just from one or two people, it is the entire Lodge that
came together as one to make this happen. There is strength in numbers and it
shows. With this being said I can't stress enough the fact that we as Elks are
there to help and service our community, our children, our Veterans, and don't
forget, our fellow Elks. We must be able to support one another before we can
support the above mentioned. I am looking forward to my Past Exalted Ruler
years as I do plan on staying active in our Lodge. I encourage all of you to
support your next year’s Officers. Remember that they too are volunteers and
serve from their heart just as you. I thank you once again and may the principle
of Elkdom stay in your heart.
Always remember:
“As an AmerICan, I Can, As
Sandy Bowen
Exalted Ruler
,
We Can”.
Fraternally yours,
Sandy Bowen
Exalted Ruler

From the Secretary’s Desk
Lodge Officers
In accordance with Grand Lodge Statutes,
applicants for membership will be posted
at the Lodge 7 days prior to the meeting
when they will be voted upon. Please
come down to welcome our newest members.
Secretary Message:
AAArrrggghhhh!!! This is the sound a secretary makes
when her printer loses it’s mind in the middle of printing
membership cards. Never fear! A couple of extra days
and a few work-arounds and we are back in business. I
apologize that the turnaround time for you cards has not
been as fast as it should be. A huge thank you to those of
you who have already paid dues. Remember March 31st
is the deadline. March 31st is also the Grand Lodge
deadline. Delinquent members must be dropped at
that time. If you are having problems getting your
dues caught up please call my office. Maybe we can
find a way to help you. All of our members
are important to us! As we begin the new
Elks Year let’s start it off right by working
and playing together. Exalted Ruler
Kathy and her Officers have many
things planned this year. Let’s
make 2015-2016 great!
Kind Regards,
Secretary Terri

Elk
Of The Month
Volunteer
Of The Month
It has been a hard year in picking just one
person each month to be Elk of the month
for me as I believe each and every one of
you should have that honor. Now it is time
to pick my last one. Now stop saying "Pick
me, pick me." This person has been a great
support of the Lodge, helped when needed,
been a friend to many. So I want you go to
look in the mirror as the one I pick is YOU.
Gottach ya. Now be nice and share. No
fighting about it. First come first serve. You
are all picked as Elk of the month. Love you
all, and thank you.
Leading Knight
Kathy Stark
This months volunteer has been around the
Lodge for some time. She has been active
with the Children’s activities in the Lodge for
many years. She has done amazing things
with the Christmas party and everyone has
always had fun at the Easter party. She has
also been involved in the picnic organizing
children’s activities and helping with the
overall event.
Next time you are at the Lodge and see Lori
Heger, remember to congratulate her and
thank her for all that she has done.

What a great time I have had this year. It went by so fast my
circuits are still trying to catch up. I met so many wonderful
humanoids, I think that's what they were. I still am trying to
figure out some of them. I will still come in when I can and
support what all of you two legged Elks do. Thanks for choosing
me to be a part of you. I love you all.
Until next time be safe and be happy.

From the Kitchen:
Hello and Welcome to Spring! As I’m sure many of you have
noticed that we’ve upgraded our menu quite a bit. Per request
we’ve added a couple more dinners to the Friday night fare including a 10 oz steak for $12.00 and a Pork chop dinner for either
$6.00 or $8.00 depending on how many chops you like. All Friday
night specials will run at 7.00 and the Sunday ones at 4.00. Please
come down and enjoy the hot delicious foods the Lodge
volunteers are making for you, and if you have suggestions let
Bill, Troy or I know and we’ll see what we can do!! Please note we
will be closed March 22ⁿ� following installation.
Hope to see you soon!!!
Daylene
A new year has started with the officers. Please give
them your support. This is a new job for them and so
much for them to learn. They are trying to plan a fun year
for everyone. So if you have any ideas on what you
would like to happen for fun let one of them know.
Rumor has it that there may be a fun one coming in May
and another different event during the summer. All is in
the planning stages from the rumor going around. Am
sure you are with me in wanting our summer months to
get here soon. And many of the stores are having mark
downs on hats and mittens--hint, hint.
Get your scales out. Did you know that hot water is
heavier than cold.

The Elks and Patriotism
World War I
The Elks patriotism and generosity helped the nation to victory in World War I.
In 1917, the Grand Lodge allocated $2 million to finance efforts to assist U.S.
soldiers. The Order organized and equipped the first two base hospitals in
France, and to accommodate the maimed and wounded, the Elks built a 700bed Reconstruction Hospital and gave it to the War Department in 1918. This
was the first of what was to become the VA medical centers. That same year,
the Order built a 72-room Community House to take care of the families visiting
the 40,000 soldiers stationed at Camp Sherman, Ohio.
During the war, the Salvation Army was severely handicapped in its great
efforts for the servicemen by lack of funds. To make sure that this work
continued, the Elks undertook campaigns to raise funds for the Salvation Army,
and on many occasions assumed the entire cost of these undertakings. In
addition, the Order at Christmastime in 1918 gave the Salvation Army $60,000
to continue its programs.
Following the war's end, the Elks made 40,000 rehabilitation, vocational, and
educational loans to disabled veterans who were ineligible for government help
or awaiting approval of their applications. This service was so effective that the
government followed the Order’s example and established a revolving fund that
was the precursor to the GI Bill.
More than 70,000 Elks served in the armed forces during World War I.
More than 1,000 made the supreme sacrifice.
