Exalted Ruler’s Message
Happy New Year to
everyone. It is hard to
believe that 2015 is here!!
It does not seem that long
ago that we all worried
about
our
computers
crashing on the eve of the
millennium. On well, we
made it through that and
we will make it through
this “winter thing” that
happens every year about
this time. (I’m kidding,
its Winter!) January is my
birth month and you would
think I would like it but I
don’t.
This time of year is a busy time for Elks Lodges. In
the month of February, we will have nominations
for officers at the first meeting and elections at the
second meeting. It is an exciting time for new folks
to get involved with their lodge. To breathe new life
into the governing of each individual lodge. March
will be our installation of the newly elected officers
and come April 1, the new lodge year begins . There,
you see, we made it through winter!
nearby, but are still members who care and share,
that it makes it impossible to exclude you from the
process as well. It is for this reason that my choice
for Elk of the Month is “You”. All of you! We are at
over 1000 members strong, and each and everyone
of you count. So wherever this newsletter finds you,
whatever your lot in life may be at this point, I say
“Thank You”.
You are all true and loyal members among us and
now you are officially an Elk of the Month!!
Keep in mind also; at the stroke of eleven, wherever
you are, when that hour falls upon the dial of night,
it is the Golden Hour of Recollection and you are
remembered! Yes, each and every one of you.
In closing, I would like to urge everyone to count
their blessings from this past year. To keep a smile
on their face and to be encouraged for the new
upcoming year. I ask Gods Blessing on each and
every one of you and Thank you all for giving me a
great 2014!!
See you around the Lodge,
Jeffrey Secord
Exalted Ruler
Toms River Elks Lodge #1875
I usually reserve this for the end of my message but
I am changing things up a bit. I have given a lot of
thought to Januarys Elk of the Month. There are so
many people to choose from, so many that work hard
day after day and input so much creative juice to the
process. But there are also so many of you that either
can’t get here for one reason or another or don’t live

VETERAN’S
COMMITTEE
Our Veterans Committee did an outstanding job bringing Holiday Cheer to our hospitalized Veterans, we visited 4 different
facilities, Arbors Care Center (seen here)
Holiday Care Center, Arista Care Center
and Bey Lea Care Center. Pizza Parties, Bingo games and gifts distributed by Santa and
Mrs Claus were handed out to over 65 Vets,
some of the Vets can be seen wearing their
gifts, Elks hats. Santa (Gene Iannotta, Mrs
Claus (Pat Nelson) and the Christmas Elf, (
Marge Ianotta), did an outstanding job, and
one resident was so thrilled to see Santa,
that she hugged him under the Christmas
Tree. As always, an outstanding job by our
Veterans Committee, bringing joy to our
hospitalized Vets, we will NEVER forget
them and thank them for their service.

FROM THE SECRETARY
I hope everyone had a peaceful holiday. Happy
New Year to all. The lodge has been busy over the

BREAKFAST WITH
SANTA
The Coyne Slot
Mr. Jacobs, the biology instructor at a posh suburban girl’s junior
college, said during class, “Miss Arnold, would you please name the
organ of the human body, which under the appropriate conditions,
expands to six times its normal size, and define the conditions.”
Miss Arnold gasped, then said freezingly, “Mr. Jacobs, I don’t think
that is a proper question to ask me. I assure you my parents will hear
of this.” With that she sat down red-faced. Unperturbed, Mr. Jacobs
called on Miss Jones and asked the same question. Miss Jones, with
composure, replied, “The pupil of the eye, in dim light.” “Correct,”
said Mr. Jacobs. “And now, Miss Arnold, I have three things to say
to you. One, you have not studied your lesson. Two, you have a
dirty mind. And three, you will someday be faced with a dreadful
disappointment.”
On Dec 13th, Bruce and his helpers prepared and served
a delicious breakfast with all the fixings to over 200
children and adults. Josh was the best DJ who played
numerous songs for the children to sing and dance to, and
that they sure did. Roden was the greatest Santa as usual
singing songs along with the children. Pug was a grand
Mrs Santa Claus who read stories to the children sitting
around on the floor, listening attentively. The children
enjoyed themselves. Santa arrived and started handing
out gifts as Dennis De Mey called out their names. Santa
and Mrs Claus posed for photos with the children, while
their parents took pictures. Thank you Special Childrens
Committee headed by Kathy De May and Charlene Dolan
who did a fantastic job organizing the affair. Thanks also
to all the volunteers who helped behind the scene.
Always love a woman for her personality. She has ten you can choose
from.
I hate girls that complain about being
single every 3 minutes. 90% of my socks
are single & you don’t see them crying
about it.

into the House Chairman’s role. I have a lot to learn but as with
catering I am up for the challenge. I wish everyone a Prosperous

cool events. And I look forward for all our members to have a really
good time at the lodge.

HOUSE NEWS
I would like to take this time to thank Dennis Demey for his
dedicated and loyal service to the lodge. As you all may know
Dennis has stepped down from House Chairmen, He wants to
concentrate on his rehabilitation from his knee replacement. We
wish him all the success and our prayers are with him. I will do the
best I can to continue in a manner that will make the lodge a FUN
AND HAPPY PLACE TO COME TO.

LODGE OF SORROW
BREAKFAST WITH
SANTA
The Coyne Slot
Mr. Jacobs, the biology instructor at a posh suburban girl’s junior
college, said during class, “Miss Arnold, would you please name the
organ of the human body, which under the appropriate conditions,
expands to six times its normal size, and define the conditions.”
Miss Arnold gasped, then said freezingly, “Mr. Jacobs, I don’t think
that is a proper question to ask me. I assure you my parents will hear
of this.” With that she sat down red-faced. Unperturbed, Mr. Jacobs
called on Miss Jones and asked the same question. Miss Jones, with
composure, replied, “The pupil of the eye, in dim light.” “Correct,”
said Mr. Jacobs. “And now, Miss Arnold, I have three things to say
to you. One, you have not studied your lesson. Two, you have a
dirty mind. And three, you will someday be faced with a dreadful
disappointment.”
On Dec 13th, Bruce and his helpers prepared and served
a delicious breakfast with all the fixings to over 200
children and adults. Josh was the best DJ who played
numerous songs for the children to sing and dance to, and
that they sure did. Roden was the greatest Santa as usual
singing songs along with the children. Pug was a grand
Mrs Santa Claus who read stories to the children sitting
around on the floor, listening attentively. The children
enjoyed themselves. Santa arrived and started handing
out gifts as Dennis De Mey called out their names. Santa
and Mrs Claus posed for photos with the children, while
their parents took pictures. Thank you Special Childrens
Committee headed by Kathy De May and Charlene Dolan
who did a fantastic job organizing the affair. Thanks also
to all the volunteers who helped behind the scene.
Always love a woman for her personality. She has ten you can choose
from.
I hate girls that complain about being
single every 3 minutes. 90% of my socks
are single & you don’t see them crying
about it.

VETERAN’S
COMMITTEE
Our Veterans Committee did an outstanding job bringing Holiday Cheer to our hospitalized Veterans, we visited 4 different
facilities, Arbors Care Center (seen here)
Holiday Care Center, Arista Care Center
and Bey Lea Care Center. Pizza Parties, Bingo games and gifts distributed by Santa and
Mrs Claus were handed out to over 65 Vets,
some of the Vets can be seen wearing their
gifts, Elks hats. Santa (Gene Iannotta, Mrs
Claus (Pat Nelson) and the Christmas Elf, (
Marge Ianotta), did an outstanding job, and
one resident was so thrilled to see Santa,
that she hugged him under the Christmas
Tree. As always, an outstanding job by our
Veterans Committee, bringing joy to our
hospitalized Vets, we will NEVER forget
them and thank them for their service.

Exalted Ruler’s Message
Happy New Year to
everyone. It is hard to
believe that 2015 is here!!
It does not seem that long
ago that we all worried
about
our
computers
crashing on the eve of the
millennium. On well, we
made it through that and
we will make it through
this “winter thing” that
happens every year about
this time. (I’m kidding,
its Winter!) January is my
birth month and you would
think I would like it but I
don’t.
This time of year is a busy time for Elks Lodges. In
the month of February, we will have nominations
for officers at the first meeting and elections at the
second meeting. It is an exciting time for new folks
to get involved with their lodge. To breathe new life
into the governing of each individual lodge. March
will be our installation of the newly elected officers
and come April 1, the new lodge year begins . There,
you see, we made it through winter!
nearby, but are still members who care and share,
that it makes it impossible to exclude you from the
process as well. It is for this reason that my choice
for Elk of the Month is “You”. All of you! We are at
over 1000 members strong, and each and everyone
of you count. So wherever this newsletter finds you,
whatever your lot in life may be at this point, I say
“Thank You”.
You are all true and loyal members among us and
now you are officially an Elk of the Month!!
Keep in mind also; at the stroke of eleven, wherever
you are, when that hour falls upon the dial of night,
it is the Golden Hour of Recollection and you are
remembered! Yes, each and every one of you.
In closing, I would like to urge everyone to count
their blessings from this past year. To keep a smile
on their face and to be encouraged for the new
upcoming year. I ask Gods Blessing on each and
every one of you and Thank you all for giving me a
great 2014!!
See you around the Lodge,
Jeffrey Secord
Exalted Ruler
Toms River Elks Lodge #1875
I usually reserve this for the end of my message but
I am changing things up a bit. I have given a lot of
thought to Januarys Elk of the Month. There are so
many people to choose from, so many that work hard
day after day and input so much creative juice to the
process. But there are also so many of you that either
can’t get here for one reason or another or don’t live
