HOOF PRINTS / Lodge 497 ‘The Friendliest Little Lodge in Florida’ FEB 2022 / PAGE 1
Greetings! Here we are in the midst of another brutal
Florida winter. While we are all huddled up in our heavy
coats, gloves and hats, the Snow Birds are walking the
beach in shorts and tee shirts and going for swims in the
Gulf. Speaking of which, some of our regular visitors from
up north have started checking in at the Lodge again this
year. When you see any of our northern visitors, or anyone
else you don't know, please say hello and make them feel
welcomed at the "Friendliest Little Elks Lodge in Florida".
Now that the holidays are over the Lodge is back to its
normal schedule. Please check the calendar in this Hoof
Prints for important dates during the month. We are
expecting another busy month at the Lodge in February. All
the usual events are back on schedule: Bingo every
Monday, Tacos every Tuesday, Darts every Wednesday,
meetings and Queen of Hearts every Thursday, live music
and food every Friday and our new electronic raffle
machines every day of the week.
In addition to the usual events, our quarterly blood drive
will be held on Sunday, February 6th, from 10:00 AM til 3:00
PM. We have tentatively scheduled a breakfast buffet in
the Lodge for that morning. Also, the Lodge Secretary, Lisa
Levchik, is leading the effort to stage another great
Valentine's Night Gala Dinner and Dance. This will be
something to look forward to.
The results of the vote in January on the proposal to rebuild
the Lodge boat docks will have been decided by the time
you receive this edition of Hoof Prints. Provided the
proposal voted on in January received an affirmative vote
from the membership, the Board of Directors will begin
developing a plan to lease the new boat slips. Any changes
to the way the Lodge handles leasing the boat slips to
members in the future, have not been determined. This will
be a topic for discussion at the Board of Directors meetings
for the next few months. The Board will be soliciting input
from the membership. We appreciate those of you who
have already expressed your opinions on how you think
things should be handled. The Board will collect all your
input and try to develop a consensus and present a new
lease agreement to the Lodge membership at a later date.
We have time to put together a good plan as construction
is not expected to begin before May at the earliest.
On Thursday, the 10th, nominations will be taken for new
Lodge officers for the coming year. Elections for those new
officers will be held at the Lodge meeting on Thursday,
February 24th. More on this elsewhere in Hoof prints.
One last item that I forgot to mention last month. Our
Lodge held its Elks Hoop Shoot contest at the Gulf Breeze
Recreation Center on December 9, 2021. Due to Covid this
was the first Hoop Shoot the Lodge has had in a couple of
years and even now due to restrictions at the Rec. Center
we were not allowed to let the 8 to 9 age group to
participate. However, we had 35 boys and girls in the 10 to
11 and 12 to 13 age groups participate. We had three
winning entrants; girls (12-13) Maddie Harrell, boys (10-11)
Jayden Barnes and boys (12-13) Zeplin Vincent. These
three winners advanced to the District Hoop Shoot held in
Crestview on January 9th. Our entrant, Zeplin Vincent, won
the District title for (12-13) boys and will go on to the
Regional Hoop Shoot in Lake City on January 29.
Unfortunately, I do not have the results of that contest at
the time of this writing. Thanks to all the kids for their
participation. I certainly hope they benefitted from the
event and most importantly had fun. Very special thanks to
the Co-Chairs of this year's Hoop Shoot, Terry Mink and
John Stanhagen, and all the other great Elks that
volunteered to assist with registration, officiating, score
keeping and herding cats, er, I mean directing the
participants.
Don't forget... come to the Lodge, get involved, volunteer
your time and help out with one of the many events at the
Lodge.

L O D G E O F F I C E R S
February greetings! Perhaps the biggest news is the vote that we, as a group, made at our January meeting to move our meeting night from the second Thursday of each month, to the first Thursday of each month. This was done to give our female Elks the opportunity to join the LOE’s and attend our meetings (since the Elks meet on the second Thursday) while also allowing them to be Elks! This issue was brought to light after attending the annual FLOE Conference last September, whereby we learned that female Elks are allowed and encouraged to join their respective lodge’s women’s auxiliary. In an effort to experience continued growth of our group at #497 we feel that it is essential to have our meeting on a night that female Elks can attend and not be in conflict with the Elks meeting night. This required a change to our By-Laws and will commence beginning on the Elk new year in April. With this being said, if you are a female Elk, you are welcome and encouraged to come to our April meeting or any thereafter to sit in and check us out to see if joining our group might be something you are interested in. You will find that being a member of the LOE’s of this lodge to be a rewarding, fun experience that will only enhance your membership as an Elk. Keep watching our monthly article in the Hoofprints for updates to upcoming meetings.
The Elks Quarterly Meeting will be the first weekend of February and will be held at the Florida Elks Youth Camp in Umatilla, FL. What does this have to do with the LOE’s you ask? Well, the FLOE (Florida Ladies Of Elks) officers and delegates also meet at this and the 2 other Elk meetings during the year. This is relevant to us since Harriet Gossett, Helen Pratt and myself are delegates for the Northwest district for FLOE. We will be attending this event along with our husbands, Elks Darrell Gossett, Cap Pratt and Paul Ross. The purpose of the delegate role for FLOE’s is to assimilate the information gathered on a state level to our own ladies auxiliary group and those of our district, or if there is no ladies auxiliary at district lodges, then the information will be given to the Exalted Ruler of that lodge. We are excited to attend this function and will keep you all in the know!
Our next meeting will be February 10 in the lodge library at 7pm. The floor will be open for nominations of new LOE officers for the upcoming Elk year beginning in April. If you are interested in ANY officer position, please let me know so you can be nominated. See you at lodge!
The Dinner/Dance is on February 14, 2022 from 6pm-10pm. Surf and Turf
will be the main course and Six Piece Suits will be the entertainment again
this year. We are limiting tickets to members/spouses (max 4 tickets per
person). If seats are still available, we will open up to non-member guests.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, January 22 at 2pm on the second floor.
Sunday, February 6th 10am - 3 pm
Watch Constant Contact for Details.

Nomination and Election of Lodge Officers
thNominations: February 10thElections: February 24
At our first meeting this month, 10 February, we will
open nominations of Officers for the 2022-2023
fraternal year that begins 1 April. The Lodge Past
Exalted Rulers will preside at that meeting. We will
vote on those nominated at the second meeting on
24 February.
Eleven of the 15 Officer positions will be vacant and
require a replacement. Of those eleven positions to
be filled, seven are to be elected by the members.
They are: Exalted Ruler, Leading Knight, Loyal
Knight, Lecturing Knight, Secretary, Treasurer and 5
Year Trustee.
If you think you may be interested but do not know
what the job entails, ask any current officer or any
Past Exalted Ruler (PER). Any member in good
standing may be nominated for any of those
positions by any other member in good standing.
Just be sure you are nominated at the first meeting
this month. Nominations for a particular office will
not be accepted at the second meeting unless no
one was nominated at the first meeting, or the
nominee has withdrawn his/her name. Don't have
anyone to nominate you? Any Elk can do it.
The other 4 officers are appointed by the new
Exalted Ruler. They are: Esquire, Chaplain, Inner
Guard and Tiler. The ER Elect will be looking to fill
those positions with volunteers as soon as he/she is
elected. Volunteer for one.
All new Officers will be installed sometime between
15 March and 15 April on a date agreed upon by the
Exalted Ruler Elect and the lodge PER Association.
The Exalted Ruler Elect will also be looking for
members to fill any vacant Lodge Committee
positions. Find him or her, ask what positions need
to be filled and volunteer for one. The ER cannot do
it all. He or she needs your help.
Fraternally,
Beryle Farmer, PER
