The Lodge had a Halloween party and I didn’t see as many of you as I had hoped, but those that did come had a good time with good food and a great band. I want you to remember that these functions are a lot of work to do the shopping, cooking, making tickets, setting up, decorating and cleaning up. At this time I would like to thank Lori Eaton for always setting up, making tickets and cleaning up; always doing something behind the scenes. I’d also like to thank Nick Rossi for always being there first thing to shuck the corn or anything that needs to be done; Bob Hartington for always being there in the kitchen helping in the prep work and always cleaning up, and that is a big job after a function like that. Thanks to John Collins we had some pretty spectacular life-size decorations; and to Lori, Carol DeLory and Diane Bannister Duquette for decorating the hall and for all of you who came and supported us at this event, thank you. Events like these are a good way for us to get together like old friends. This Lodge has become like an extended family for most of us. We must do this to grow in the way that we have also by leaving our problems and differences somewhere else. Lately, we have accomplished this and have made our Lodge a friendly place to be with nice people, good music in a clean environment. We have proved this by the growth in our membership. Our members are bringing in their friends and family who like what they see and our becoming members themselves. Remember, when you see a new face, say hi and make them feel welcome and wanting to become an Elk. Our Lodge has participated in many of the programs that make us Elks. We have Veterans programs, Hoop Shoot, Drug Awareness, Scholarship, Americanism, Special Needs events. This year the Lodge helped to sponsor a Challenges Baseball team with the help of Dave McGhee, Charlie & Anne Marie Greaves. Sunday October 19th the team came to our Lodge to enjoy a banquet put on by Charlie, Anne Marie, Dave & Maureen, John Collins and Cheryl Devlin. Along with the help of the many volunteers, this event went very well. Next year with your help, it will only get better and grow. Great job guys & gals. I would also like to thank Bruce Caldwell for taking pictures at our events and posting them so promptly on our website!! Well, on to the Turkey Trot. It will be held on Friday, November 7th at 6:30, fun starts at 7:30. Bring a friend. If you have come before, you know how much fun it is. I’d like to thank Deb & Noel Petisce for getting the mailing of the raffle tickets stuffed and ready to send to all of our members. We did mail out 2 booklets to each. If you can’t join us, please support us. Hope to see you there. Save the Date: December 13th we will have a childrens’ toy party. Two, maybe three, bands will donate their time for this event, and there will be a buffet of food for all. Admittance is for you to bring in a new child’s toy, unwrapped between $15 and $20 range please. Check the website or the next bulletin for more information.

This past Sunday I participated in the Drug Awareness 5K Walk in Buttonwoods Park. It was chilly and cloudy and it would have been very easy to stay under the covers for an hour longer, but I went. I was surrounded by Elks and friends despite my getting there early. Everyone was in great spirits and you know what? It was fun. I left the camaraderie of that State Elk event and went directly to the Challenges Division banquet. When I scheduled this, I knew my crew would be there and I hoped that maybe some others would show, hoped. What happened next was amazing, we had tons of help. I was for the second time that day surrounded by my friends, fellow Elks, who with no begging and with no fuss, came to help. I can’t describe how touched I was by this. That, my friends, is why you’re an Elk. Miss that feeling? Come back to the Lodge and get involved. You matter to us, and we miss you.
