Drugs are Killers - Watch Your Children

The
past few months have been very busy, but also enjoyable. We have had
our auditing done, which went well and the District Deputies visit
Ditto! State President's visit to our lodge along with his wife and
travelling companions was a great fellowship time, enjoyed by all, and
of course, State Vice President Doug Neiss's visit is always a
pleasure. Doug always seems to be able to bring out the best in us,
especially Gail! I'd like to thank Robin Miner and crew for the delicious breakfast that was held on Oct 31 st. Great job done! We will be having another breakfast buffet on January 16th, 2005, so mark your calendars. Thanks also to Jan Gorshack and his crew for the D. A.R.E. Halloween Party. A lot of time and hard work went into it, and as a result, it again, was a success! I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Fraternally,

December is here and with it here, we relate it with almost being X-Mas,
which X-Mas is a time of giving and receiving, so through the month of December will be collecting non perishables for the Sidney area Food Bank. The food bank is based at the Sidney Methodist Church they donate the collected non perishables to needy families in our community, so please bring your non perishables to the Lodge and put them in the box located in the bar room area. Remember, Elks care. Elks share Thanks so much. ER Sue |

would like to take a second to thank all involved in our recent events
at the Lodge. Our Halloween party was a success with 100 Children and
54 adults attending. Thanks to everyone who assisted with this event. I
am not going to try and list everyone individually as I do not want to
forget anyone. Our Spaghetti dinner was once again a huge success. Our
numbers were up towards our first dinner but much more organized after
years of practice. Special Thanks to the Franklin Crew for another fine
meal and all those who attended. Jan Gorshack Drug Awareness Chairman |

was a small turn out for our first Texas Hold 'Em tournament but all
who showed had fun. Most are planning on playing at the next tournament
and bringing a friend along. This is a good opportunity to introduce a
friend to our Lodge. They can have a afternoon of fun, meet new people,
have a light meal, and perhaps walk away with some extra money. Our
next tournament will be Sunday December 12th. We will start dealing at
4:00 P.M., please plan on showing up at least 15 minutes early to sign
in. Hope to see you there! George Huyck Tournament Director |
