August/September 2019

Summer has flown by

much to my delight. The

heat was oppressive

though. I hope everyone

took steps to keep cool,

Here are a couple of

things that will keep us in

the summer spirit. On

August 10th, September

6th, and October 6th we

will be having crab feeds.

Tickets for these events

will be at the bar or from

Joni. There will also be a

Labor Day picnic. Details

for each were not

established by the time

the Antlers went to the

printer

It has been a sad year

for many of our members

and families. We have

lost as many members as

we have brought in.

Which leads to the

commitment that I

previously asked of each

and every member to

bring in at least one new

member this Elk year.

We still have 8 months to

accomplish this. Please

do your best to help keep

this lodge afloat.

I just returned from

the national convention in

St. Louis. It was hot

there as it was here. The

item that was passed

which stood out for me,

was Grand Lodge taking

over the audit for all of

the lodges. We will put

everything on line, so that

they can review the data.

This will mean that we will

no longer have to hire an

auditor to review our

books. Hopefully this will

save us considerably in

the audit process.

We are going to try

having the bar bingo on

the second Friday of the

month, so as not to have

the meat raffle on the

very next night.

Keep in mind that we

need new members to

keep our Lodge viable.

Have a good rest

of the summer.

Fraternally, Frank Bradley
