Drugs are Killers - Watch Your Children
|
It's
hard to believe, but we ave gone from Spring to Summer. The Fourth of
July is right around the corner. Summer marks the beginning of families
and friends getting together for picnics, cookouts, days spent at the
beach or pool side, children on vacation from school and farly
vacations. These are American traditions that have been carried on down
through the generations. As Exalted Ruler, I sincerely wish ALL members
and their families a happy and fun filled summer with lots of the
traditions I already mentioned And of course, anything your families do
together during the summer that I didn't mention. With summer officially underway, I would like to remind ALL members that activities at our Lodge do not take a vacation. We still have fund-raisers booked; we have Bingo on Thursday nights; and many other events taking place throughout the summer. One such event was held on the 18th of June. Officer Jan Gorshack of the Sidney Police Department and our Lodge Drug Awareness chairman held * D.A.R.E. carnival at our Lodge for D.A.R.E. students from the Sidney Central School District that I had the privilege of attending. It was 2 hours of games, contests, and of course food for the students. The students seemed to have a great ime and Officer Gorshack did a fantastic job getting the students to participate in all the planned activities. The efforts of Officer Gorshack and the members of our Lodge did not go unnoticed. Thanks to Jan and everyone who helped him. The members of our Lodge should know that our D.A.R.E. program truly is PRICELESS. Have a great summer everyone! Fraternally,
Ralph Gschwind,ER

LADIES & GENTLEMEN OF SIDNEY ELKS LODGE 2175 Last month I
wrote a letter about needing more volunteers to work BINGO. I would
like our members to know that 3 people responded. After my return from
the National Convention in mid-July, I will get together with those
members to see if we can get some more volunteers to finish making a
crew. To the rest of our members, I urge you to take one night out of a
month and volunteer to work BINGO. Remember a lot of the monies that we
earn at this goes back to the community in the form of donations for
various events. So please let me hear from some more people. Call
563-1589 after 5:00 PMThank You
