OHIO VETERAN’S HOME in SANDUSKY. Thank you, members, for
your charitable donations for our Veterans!
We will have a Pancake Breakfast at our Lodge on Sunday, November
9th, to honor our Community Veterans. Breakfast will be from 8:30am
to noon and open to the public. Veterans will have their breakfast free,
adults are $6 and children $2. Breakfast includes sausage gravy and
biscuits, scrambled eggs and BACON with buttermilk pancakes! All you
can eat! All donations will be sent to the Veteran’s Home.
In October, our Dictionary Project Committee Chairman BILL
FOGLYANO distributed dictionaries to third grade students throughout
the area. With assistance from DALE KOTLAN, JIM and LAURA
MURRAY and BILL delivered over 1,000 dictionaries to the third
graders. Thanks also to KRISTEN BARNEY, DAVE NOREN and
MIDGE O’GRADY for their help in preparing and labeling the

letters from the delighted children. We will display as many as we can
at the Lodge. Thanks again, Elks!

ELKS OHIO BUCKEYE BUCKS 2015 CALENDARS are available
for purchase through an officer or at the bar. The calendar is $20 and
makes a great gift. Each has a unique four digit number that may win
$50, $100 or $500 over the 2015 year. There are 728 chances to
win based on the OHIO STATE LOTTERY four digit number drawings
each day. Our Lodge receives a portion of the sales which go toward
scholarship awards.
Thanks JIM EVANS and “The Train Boys” and all who helped to
make the Clambake a tasty evening. A sunny day and fun was had by
all golfers participating in the annual WALTER “JOE” MCMANUS CP
GOLF OUTING in September. DAVE NOREN ran a fantastic benefit
for Cerebral Palsy at the CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER.
Over $2000 raised from this outing will go to the CDC! Esteemed
Loyal Knight BRIAN MCDOUGAL, along with our A.O.L. donation,
purchased and installed new blinds for the Lodge den and pool room.
With your donations through raffles, new windows have been installed
in the upstairs bowling alley.
Our Annual Barnyard Party will have Hams, Turkeys, and BACON
to win in drawings! A complimentary Turkey sandwich tops off the
night. Happy Thanksgiving! “When Pigs Fly” Black Friday with
CORNWELL AND MOORE.
