AUXILIARY NEWS Our Spring Card Party was held on Sunday, April 22nd. 131 women enjoyed the afternoon. Many thanks to all those who worked so hard to make this party a success. At our April meeting, the members present voted to once again support the following charities. A check for $200 will be sent to: City Mission, West Ridge FD, 2nd Harvest Food Bank, Safe Net, Community House for Women, Elks Home Service Program, Elks National Foundation, Neighborhood Art House, The Caring Place, Regional Cancer Center and John Kanzius Research Foundation. $500 will be sent to the City Mission and the Shriners Hospital for Children, their Timmy's Day Out Program. At our May meeting, we will once again distribute tickets for our July lottery. If you have a favorite number, please call Marlene Lewis prior to the meeting. GUN RAFFLE UPDATE 2012 The final results are in and we had another great year. We did not set the record we thought we did but improved over last year and had the second highest total to date. Our final number was $38,788. A list of the 2012 Gun Raffle Volunteers along with the various sponsors are available for viewing in the April edition of the bulletin. PAST EXALTED RULER'S BOOK AWARD 2012 The PER's Book Award four page application and a three page question & answer book is available at the Lodge Office. This PER funded application pays up to $1,000 for a college accepted student of an Elk parent member or Elk grandparent. This award pays for the student's books. The PERs pay upon receipt of a freshman's book bill. The application must be submitted by August 15, 2012 for judging. Posters have been posted at the Lodge. Please read the question & answer book available at the Lodge. Any more questions, please contact Lyn Grossholz, PER Secretary. SONNEY'S BACKYARD BBQ Yes, it's almost that time of the year again to cook dogs and burgers out back on the patio. Starting Sunday, June 10th we will have our 1st Backyard BBQ and on Father's Day, June 17th is when we will be grilling steaks. Watch the Lodge bulletin board for the sign-up sheet for sponsors and cooks. As always, come join in for a dog or burger and bring a side dish to share. FROM THE HOUSE COMMITTEE We have put the new Tuits in effect and would like to clarify the new tuit system. The price established for each tuit color will be the same all year. The price for a tuit does not fluctuate with Happy Hour or Daily Drink specials. It stays the same price that it is set up for all the time. There will be no tuit handed out for a birthday drink. Just ask the bartender for it in your month and they wills serve you one. You need to have your card on you to be served in the Lodge. Our House Rules state that you need to have your card on you to be served at the Lodge. Therefore, the reason we are asking to see your card is that if you buzz in (especially this time of year) we are not sure if you are in good standing. If you are asked, please be cordial and show your card. The Wii game has been installed and ready to use. Please feel free to use it, all you have to do is ask the bartenders for the remote and give them some form of identification. When you return the remote, you will receive your identification back. We have Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resorts that have an assortment of games to play. If you need help trying to get the game going, let us know and we will get somebody to show you how to use it. This notice is about parking in the mini self-storage NO PARKING AREAS, which also means the grass areas. We, as owners of the Storage Units, are receiving phone calls from our renters stating they cannon reach their units due to cars parked in the areas, which are clearly marked for NO PARKING. The owner's of the storage units donated 16 parking spots to the Lodge and hopefully this notice will solve the current problem. |
