EXALTED RULER MESSAGE

PASTA NIGHT and TRIVIA NIGHT on Monday is a huge success as is

TACO TUESDAY. We’ve had an excellent turnout of Elks on these

nights for dinner and fellowship. Appreciation to the Trivia Captains

and the teams who are preparing and serving Pasta Monday & Taco

Tuesday in our kitchen.

Our three day Open House Weekend brought many visitors and poten-

tial new members to the Lodge. A big “THANK YOU” goes out to the

members and officers who volunteered all weekend to assure the tre-

mendous success of the weekend, it was wonderful. Participation in

events such as this is a crowning effort.

Friday night burgers and hot dogs were being cooked on the grill until

midnight. “Just Dave” was in the lounge and stayed on to play music

for the after concert goers.

Jim & Mary provided music at the “Tiki Bar” all weekend. Thank you

Jim & Mary for all you do.

John Gebert and crew served the barbecue chicken dinner with famous

“Gebert” beans and as you may expect it was a “SELL OUT” with Elks

and their visitors who came and bought tickets the day of the dinner.

COMING EVENTS, ACTIVITIES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Chairman David Lee and the Scholarship Committee have invited High

School Senior’s along with their parents to dinner and award presenta-

tion at our Wednesday, June 5th meeting. The ceremony will begin at

7:00 pm. Let’s fill the Lodge room to show our appreciation of these

students for their accomplishments.

ELKS ANNUAL FLAG DAY CEREMONY –

Will be held at the Clyde E. Lassen Veterans Nursing Home on Satur-

day, June 15, 2013, beginning at 1:00 pm. The address is 4650 SR 16,

St. Augustine. This year the event will again include the VFW Honor

Guard and Boy Scout Troup 345 with a traditional Flag Burning Cere-

mony. Last year the residents as well as those visiting on that day were

overwhelmed with our Flag Day Ceremony. All Elks are encouraged to

attend. If you have a flag that is no longer suitable for display bring it to

the Lodge by Friday of that week or to the Lassen Home on the day of

the ceremony.

SPECIAL FATHER’S DAY SUNDAY BRUNCH –

Sunday, June 16th served at the Lodge from 9:00 – 11:00 am. This is a

favorite with Dads and a great way to start his day off with the family.

In keeping with an annual tradition the women will be running the kitch-

en to give the guys that Sunday off.

ELK OF THE MONTH –

I am very happy to announce that Grace Andrews is Elk of the Month

for June. You can find Grace working Bingo on Thursday evenings and

in the kitchen on Sunday mornings as part of the breakfast crews. Grace

also stepped up and agreed to be our Lodge Drug Awareness Chairman.

When an extra volunteer is needed she is there. Grace is a tireless vol-

unteer and it is my honor to name her June Elk of the Month.

Congratulations to Judy Reyes on her election as Florida Ladies of Elks

State President. Needless to say we are all very proud of Judy and her

accomplishment.

Sincere wishes to all and especially to all the Dads for a Happy Fathers

Day.

Elizabeth West, Exalted Ruler

Happy June!

We have exciting news for the 39th Annual Luau – the entertainment will

and a fire dancer! Tickets are now available for $18 each – contact any

Eland Club officer or member. The date is Saturday July 27 at 6:00 pm.

Remember that last year’s event sold out, so be sure and get your tickets

The Luau is one of our 2 major fundraisers for the year. The money

raised goes towards the Florida Elks Youth Camp, Therapy Services, and

several local charities. We need your support to make this our most suc-

cessful event ever!

On Saturday June 8 the Eland Club will be selling dessert at the Fish Fry.

I am requesting that each Eland member prepare a dessert and bring to

the lodge the morning of June 8th.

Dinner (and now trivia!). Finish off your spaghetti dinner with a yummy

piece of cake for just $1.00.

plate and took on the position of Cake Coordinator for this year. Con-

gratulations Sharyn, and THANK YOU!! Eland members who wish to
