The ELEVEN TWELVE DEVOTED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF ELKDOM Chartered in 1908 Published Monthly by San Mateo Elks Lodge No. 1112 I SSUE 10, JANUARY 2015 A NEW YEAR - A NEW START Let’s all resolve to boost Lodge AND WAY TO GO! HAPPY NEW YEAR! membership Message from the Grand Exalted Ruler, JOHN D. AMEN It is the start of a new calendar year, and now is the time to make a personal resolution regarding your Lodge Membership situation. Resolve to call upon all Members to help improve Lodge membership numbers because membership is our number one issue. Resolve to work these final months of the Lodge year for a plus membership year in your Lodge. Resolve to act now! Lodge Secretaries and Exalted Rulers: Do not go it alone – ask for help from your key Members. Enlist the help of your Past Exalted Rulers Association. Additionally, you should engage the Proposers of delinquent Members to call on their initiates. All local delinquent Members should receive a personal visit from a key Lodge Member. This will enable Lodge officials to determine if the delinquent Member is sick or in distress and should be the subject of a review by the Lodge Standing Relief Committee. The pride of distressed Members will often prevent them from talking about their situation on the phone. You know the Grand Lodge and State Association dues and per capitas have already been paid by the Lodge, and if you allow the Member to be dropped from the rolls then you will have gained nothing this year. “You lose sight of things… and when you travel, everything balances out.” – Daranna Gidel I n s i d e T h i s I s s u e Exalted Ruler's Message ..................................... 3 Calendar .............................................................. 8 Comedy Night ...................................................... 9 Crab Feed .......................................................... 10 NEXT ISSUE AVAILABLE ONLINE: January 21, 2015 Special consideration should be given to delinquent Members who have attained Life Member status. These Members have paid at least 30 years of dues and may be in a situation where family members are making financial decisions for the Member. It is a shame to coldly drop these long-standing Members who may well be incapable of making their own financial decisions. Again, face-to-face visits with a delinquent Member is imperative. Form a committee to call upon Members who have been dropped from the rolls the past five years, and remind them of the good works your Lodge does in your community. Let’s all pull together to get the Plus 1 status for the Lodge and for the Order. That’s all for now. See you on the road...

Just like our recent rains, December has stormed by us as we prepare to welcome in the New Year! Tradition continued as we celebrated the time shared with our beloved, departed members and their families at our Annual Elks Memorial Service on Sunday the 7th.Thank you to the Officers that supported this wonderful Elk’s Tradition. Santa, the Girl Scouts and many Volunteers entertained our Members’ children at the Annual Kids Christmas Party on the 10th. And close to 200 of you enjoyed a delicious turkey with all the fixins’ at the Annual Members Lunch on Saturday the 13th as the Band played. And speaking of next year, tickets are on sale for the New Year’s Eve Bash here at the Lodge so don’t miss out on Dinner and Dancing to ring in the new year with family and friends. There will be no slowing down around here in January as we prepare for the Hoop Shoot on the 10th, Comedy Night on the 23rd, and the PER Dinner on the 30th. Stay tuned for more exciting events coming soon! Have a Wonderful Christmas with your loved ones and a Safe New Year. Fraternally yours, Daniel Kenny SECRETARY’S CORNER HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Time certainly flies. Accordingly, I have been your Secretary for six months now. Fleeting, as it may seem, allow me to share a few observations on this tenure. We are very fortunate for the “behind the scenes” staff we have to run the day-to-day operations. Their longevity holds a strong “institutional history” that is so valuable…especially for a rookie Secretary. There is a lot that is necessary to keep us up and running smoothly. The office personnel with Luda, Sherrill and Natalie keep us on top of things, such as accounting, membership, coordinating programs and relationships with our District, State and National organizations, to mention a few. Maintenance staff with Francisco, Raphael and Raul has a combined 100 years of working with our Lodge. That historical knowledge of how best to Steve Dworetzky operate the facility is priceless. I believe you would all agree with me that California Catering, with Tim, Adolfo and Rigo was one of the best moves the Lodge has ever made. So keep in mind that while you are enjoying the many facets of our Lodge, it stems from a wellcoordinated staff that deserves big thanks whenever you see them. With that said, the Lodge had its finest audit from the District and National affiliates this year. They scrutinize our financials and procedures, as well as the safety issues with the physical plant. A lot of this is due to the fine work of the above mentioned and the work of our auditing committee, led by Bob Olson. It is a somewhat rigorous procedure and one not to be taken lightly.

In addition, we gave them 150 pounds of canned tuna fish and 10 gallons of mayonnaise for their ELK’S IN ACTION By Roger Cutler – Chairman O nce again, the committee met on November 20th, at the Lodge to deliver the Elk’s annual donation of turkey’s and under garments. We previously ordered 4,000 pounds of turkey’s from Costco. They have been very helpful to have the turkey’s boxed and palletized for us. Our first stop was at the Samaritan House, where we donated 2,500 pounds; about 180 turkey’s. The Samaritan house supplies food for over 1,200 families on a daily basis. The picture shows, from left to right, Bob Cala, Pete Cerri, Roger Cutler [me], John Swan, and Mike Mc Queen; ready to unload the birds. lunch time sandwiches. Through your donations, you should be proud that your money has been responsible for giving 300 families a turkey for Thanksgiving and new undergarments for a lot of homeless people. We the committee, thank you for the opportunity to help make some of our less fortunate people in the local community a little bit happier during the holidays. Our second load, went to the Second Harvest Food Bank and we delivered 1,500 pounds of turkeys, and about 120 birds. We then proceeded to the St. Vincent de Paul 4 YOUTH ACTIVITIES at the ELKS LODGE SCHOLARSHIP CORNER… AMERICANISM ESSAY CONTEST The Scholarship Committee wants to remind our membership that we are accepting the Open Family Scholarship Applications for qualifying 2015 graduates and application is due in the Lodge Office no later than January 9, 2015.

Some bocce history revisited: Throughout the centuries, bocce enjoyed rapid growth as one of Europe’s most popular pastimes; so much so that one point, several governments began to regulate its usage. The popularity of the game reached such a level in Italy that on December 11, 1576, the Republic of Venice publicly condemned it and thereafter punished disobedient citizens with fines and imprisonment. Even the Catholic Church officially prohibited any clergyman from playing the game by declaring bocce a gambling device. Yet, bocce survived and flourished.

Jeff’s clean comedy examines his particular life experiences, which include being the only white kid on his Little League team in Queens, having a Chinese wife who orders from take-out menus in fluent Mandarin, and raising a pre-teen son who calls himself “Jewnese,” because he says it sounds better than “Chine-ish.” Jeff recently made his national TV debut on CBS as a comedian on the “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” Jeff was cast by Sandy Hackett, the late Buddy Hackett’s son, to play the principal role of Joey Bishop in the long-running musical tribute “The Rat Pack Is Back,” in San Francisco, Chicago, and Las Vegas. Jeff is also credited and appears in the blockbuster film “The Pursuit of Happyness,” starring Will Smith. Jeff has been entertaining people all around North America for over 14 years, including audiences of more than 10,000 people at the ARCO Arena (in Sacramento) and the Anaheim Convention Center. His down-to-earth style and resemblance to popular TV characters has led to great shows at clubs, colleges, and corporate functions. Jeff won the “Comedian of the Year - 2003” in the SF Bay Area Cabaret Competition. Prior to comedy, Jeff worked as an engineer, using his two degrees from MIT. He also wrote, produced, and starred in a music video, and is a HUGE Jackie Chan fan. Clearly, Jeff has A.D.D. and forgot what he was going to say next. “Chicago Steve” Barkley is a 27 year comedy veteran of stage and screen, a high energy comedian that brings an array of accents along with a twisted sense of humor. He headlines comedy clubs all over the US, Canada, Mexico and even Guam!He’s appeared on “Showtime,” (five times) “Evening at the Improv,” ABC’s “Foul ups, Bleeps and Blunders” and was a $10,000.00 winner on “Americas Funniest People.” He has worked with such comics as Jerry Seinfeld, Whoopie Goldberg, Gary Shandling, Kevin Pollak, Dana Carvey, even Sid Caesar, Milton Berle and Danny Thomas!

Don’t smoke. 2. Build physical and mental activities into every day. 3. Eat a healthy diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, and substitute healthier monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats for unhealthy saturated fats and trans fats. 4. Take a daily multivitamin, and be sure to get enough calcium and vitamin D. 5. Maintain a healthy weight. 6. Challenge your mind. 7. Build a strong social network. 8. Protect your sight, hearing, and general health by following preventive care guidelines. 9. Floss, brush, and see a dentist regularly. Poor oral health may have many repercussions, including poor nutrition, unnecessary pain, and possible even a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. 10. Discuss with your doctor whether you need any medication – perhaps to control high blood pressure, treat osteoporosis, or lower cholesterol – to help you stay healthy. Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.

We’re going to get them next year, right guys? That was a rhetorical question….. because I know we are!!! The annual Christmas party was a huge success! I am so thrilled 100% of everyone that said they were TENNIS By Jasson Durhan H appy New Year to everyone!! I personally have been reflecting on this past year and all that has transpired. I’m thankful for the many new experiences I’ve endured this past year at the Lodge and outside the Lodge, the new friends I’ve made, the old friends that I’ve kept, my health, and family. I’m truly blessed. I have had the honor and the challenge of organizing the 2015 New Year’s party. Although, you cannot possibly please everyone I am hoping that everyone that attended had a fantastic time and enjoyed the many new innovative surprises that were in store. It took much creativity and ingenuity to make this a memorable party. I cannot take all the credit, my wife was very instrumental in the planning and executing of design. She, herself made and designed the large decorative piece of art you saw at the entrance of the terrace room. Talking about knocking your socks off! This set the tone for the party. Ok, onto Tennis! Our 2014 USTA season came to an end the second week of Dec. due to many rained out games. Although we really need the rain here in Calif. it put a little damper on tennis with many matches needing to be rescheduled, but we persevered. I wish I could say both teams went out with a bang, but we are still a new team compared to the others and we are still getting organized and learning as we go, which will only make us stronger. Yes, much optimism here because I know the group of guys we have on our teams and they give it their best. We finished as follows: the 7.5 team (4-8) and the 6.5 team (3-7). The last match was played at Golden Gateway Dec. 13th with a victory for Captain (Kevin) and the Co-captain (Jasson) whom both got bumped up to 3.5 for next season. Great job and nice 12 going to show, did so!!! Wives included, with the exception of my wife whom fell terribly ill and is still on the road to recovery. She sends her love to all those concerned and asking about her recovery. The party was full of fun, food, music, and party games that seemed to be a huge and successful surprise. Gift baskets were raffled off and prizes for winners of the games and competitions were handed out. I especially enjoyed watching competitors unwrapping candy kisses with socks on their hands. How you guys did it with straight faces baffles me as I was in hysterics watching. Talking about keeping your eye on the prize. Kevin’s team beat Stuart’s team in the candy kiss unwrap off. The winner of guessing how many ornaments were on the Elks Lodge Christmas tree was Chris Ekhard. Next year will hold even more fun and festivities for everyone since you all keep telling me how much fun the party was. Can’t wait. IR (injury Reserve list): Dennis Sullivan is out with a toe injury. I think he’s trying to get the name of Ed’s doctor so he too can have a titanium toe. Pete Mirosnkoff still hanging out on the IR list, although I’ve seen him hitting some balls out on the courts. Glad to see you out there Pete. Looking forward to your full recovery and permanent spot on the courts.
