New York Elks Lodge #1 Home of Grand Chaplain Rev. Michael Martine Antlers Tale 57 Hempstead Avenue, Lynbrook, New York 11563 Volume 147 147th ANNIVERSARY Exalted Rulers Message It appears that winter is finally gone. Even the snow in the rear parking lot is also gone. Frank T. Hunt, PSVP Exalted Ruler On April 15 we had 85 veterans from 3 hospitals and they had a great time. The variety show was a real hit this year with some very funny skits. On Friday we had the veterans show for our members and guests and everyone had a great time. The food was prepared by Rob Anderson and Jose and they were helped in the kitchen by Brian Goodall, Jean Hunt, Ellen and servers trustees Don Kolman, Fred Vetter, Joe Serafino, Mike Boller SVP Elect and others who helped out. The roast beef was so tender that a lot of people complemented the chefs. A few people also wanted to know what was the cut of meat that was cooked. I want to thank all the members who came to the show on Friday which is how the money is obtained to do the veterans show for the Veterans next April. I personally thank all of you for supporting your lodge. On May 20 we are hosting Police night. I need volunteers to carry the trays for the Does. I was speaking with Geppy who is chairing our next fishing trip on Sunday June 28 and the trip is already sold out. What a change from last year. Also in June is the District Veterans Barbeque at St Albans Veterans hospital on Saturday June 13. 1868-2015 Issue 2 - May 2015 It’s a great day to serve and mingle with the Veterans. On Sunday June 14 we are having Flag Day at the lodge at 5 PM and is being chaired by Mike Stuparich. Rob Anderson and I were discussing the possibility of having a Friday night dinner once a month starting in July. Let us give him support by signing up for the event as early as possible so he knows how many to cook for. Also in July on Saturday July 25 is Comedy night. This is always a good night so again sign up early so that you are not shut out. This normally is a sellout.

Galluzzo, Trustee Dean Wegner by Richard Muniak I recently attended a VA/VS meeting at which we were informed that Viet Nam Era Veterans constitute the largest segment of the hospitalized Veterans in VA facilities. This year the Federal Government is recognizing Viet Nam Era Veterans with a nationwide awareness,”Viet Nam 50th Anniversary Commemoration”. During the Viet Nam Era (August 5, 1964-May 7, 1975) 9,087,000 military personnel served on active duty which represented 9.7% of their generation. A total of 2,709,918 Americans served in Viet Nam with over 58,000 U.S. military fatal casualties there. Approximately 1/3 of all U.S. Veterans who served in Viet Nam are estimated to be alive today. You can visit the “Virtual Viet Nam Wall” at: http://www.virtualwall.org/ iStates.htm on your computer. First click on a state. When the link opens to a city look at the names listed. Click on a name and it will give details of the Veteran’s death, a picture or at least a biography and medals. I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Viet Nam sacrificed for our country in a turbulent time in our nation’s history. Pass this link on to others, as many know some of the fallen whose names are listed. On Memorial Day we as a nation pay tribute to all who have made the “ultimate sacrifice” in past and present wars and conflicts. To all “Gold Star Families”, you are the “Strong Survivors”. May God bless all of you. Come join your fellow Elks brothers and sisters from Elks #1 Lodge and participate in the Lynbrook Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 25th. Participants are to meet at the Lodge at 8am. “Classic cars” will be driven by Elk brethren with rides available for those who are unable to walk the parade route. All participants are invite back to the Lodge for a collation. EARLY NOTICE FOR JUNE EVENTS The Lodges of the Southeast District will join together to host the SE District’s annual BBQ/Picnic for the patients at St. Albans VA Hospital on Saturday, June 13th. The annual “Flag Day Service”, a tribute to “Old Glory” will be celebrated at the Lodge on Sunday, June 14th, at 5pm.
