VETERANS (JUDY COOLEY, CHAIR) November, 2018
jnc4668@msn.com
Hope everyone had a good October, finally the weather has become a little bit more bearable. The Your Era Dinner/Dance was cancelled do to the lack of Lodge membership support. Remember, it is because of our veterans that we have the freedom we enjoy today. You do not have to be a veteran to attend our Veterans Fund Raisers.
We continue losing more and more of our veterans each day, not just Korea or Viet Nam vets, but our younger generation who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, so please continue your support of our veterans.
November 12th 2018 we will once again host a Veterans Luncheon for all our veterans young and older from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm here at the Elks Lodge.
Our Veterans Christmas Tree will be in the hall by the front door to make it easier for people to come in and take a star off the tree. We should have it up the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Our Christmas party will be sometime in December I will post the date later.
I have a question to all my fellow Elks; why is participation for some events so great, but the veterans fundraisers have low turnouts and ticket sales? I think our veterans are very important people and deserve better. So next year I would like to see better ticket sale for our events.
Football Sunday potluck by the Veterans Committee starts at 12:00 noon till 3:00, or we run out of food, whichever comes first. Each Sunday will be a different menu. If anyone would like to volunteer to do a Sunday, Please Let Judy Cooley, Nikki Watterson or Leo Lang know.
