OCTOBER, 2017 VOLUME 96 / ISSUE 7, SANDY SILVEIRA, EXALTED RULER NAPA CALIFORNIA
MESSAGE FROM YOUR EXALTED RULER
Our Welcome Fall 2017!
I am pleased to announce that we have some of our empty chairman positions filled. Rich Simmons has stepped in to fill the Public Relations position. Temporarily, Tim Jaeger will be our Drug Awareness chairman. We still need others to help with Drug Awareness. And I am thrilled to announce that Marilyn Bartow is our new Community Activities chairman. Many thanks to Rich, Tim and Marilyn. Please welcome them to these new positions and help support them when you can.
Speaking of Officers and chairmen of this lodge, we need your help. Some of the officers now in their current chairs are happy to serve and some plan to continue. However, as we all know this will not go on forever. Other members need to step up, especially if we want to continue to be the great lodge we are. You will not be left on your own, we have many members willing to help get you familiar with the different positions. Elkdom needs you.
As most of you know Monica Sheppard on our behalf received a Grant to assist the Crosswalk Church's Food Bank. Five Elk members showed up at the church on Tuesday, Sept 17th to help with distributing food. Our lodge will also be on food duty next month on Tuesday, October 19th. If you would like to volunteer to help, please come to the Crosswalk Church / 10:00-12:30. Elks Care and Elks Share, thanks.
We are now in the process of forming a fundraiser to assist the victims of the floods and hurricanes in Texas and Florida. David Bridges is working on a fundraiser that involves Pizza, please watch the newsletter or call the lodge for more information.
At the meeting on Sept. 20th we initiated seven new members. This was also our return to the longer form of the Ritual. Many thanks to all the officers for adjusting to the change.
As many already know our Leading Knight Mike Biggs has resigned. It is with great sadness I accept his resignation. Mike has medical issues that need attention. I am happy to select Dave Harms as our interim Leading Knight. We will have nominations for Leading Knight at the meeting on Oct. 4th.
I will be attending a training meeting at the Ukiah Lodge on October 14th-15th. Besides the meeting, I will be entering a contest; ER's from the Great Northwest District will be giving a 20 second speech on Elkdom. I know I am a fast talker, but this might be too much for me. On November 3rd-4th I will be off to the Mid Terms in Woodland. More information about these meetings in the next newsletter.

FROM YOUR LODGE SECRETARY
Hello to All!
September has come and gone and now we are really heading into the Fall season. It has cooled down considerably, so I am happy. Lots of fun things coming in the month of October. On October 1st we have "Jazz by Joyce" in the Gazebo. We hope this event will show how much fun our outdoor events can be!
On September 23rd we had an awesome Luau and it was a benefit for ENF (Elks National Foundation). A big thank you to Joe Tato for cooking the dinner and to Bill Sollows and Calvin Cox who helped also. We actually had lots of members helping, and
it was much appreciated. The Ukulele Group from San Rafael played for the Luau and it was enjoyed by all.
At our Lodge meeting on September 20th we initiated seven new members: Patrick Chapman, Barbara Solis, Larry Kier, Artie Kenney, Dave Case, Joseph Sullivan, and Peggy Sue Decius. We welcome them all to our Lodge. Also, please welcome from the Vallejo Lodge, Gary Arneson. On October 4th we will be welcoming our District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, Joe Tato. It would be nice to see a lot of members attending this event and dinner.
There are still 33 members who have not yet paid their dues for this year. Please do so if you are one of them!!
Fraternally, Judy Fisher - Lodge Secretary p.s. You should see how awesome this bulletin is in color by email instead of snail mail!

Activities Report October 2017 Law Enforcement Night: Was on August 30, 2017. This was #832's first recent attempt at doing an Appreciation Night for our
community. We had over 75 officers and employees of the Police, Sheriff's, CHP & DA's office, along with their families & our
members; we had approximately 200 in attendance. We lucked out with great weather, it was a beautiful evening inside and out for
visiting, games, food and fun. Two Napa Law Enforcement officers were nominated for the Enrique's Camarena awards. PDDGER
Tim Jaeger was happy to present these officers with their certificates. The Enrique Camarena awards are connected to the Elk's Drug
Awareness program. There is an article and picture of this event posted on our picture board, please check it out. Many thanks going to
our Burger chefs, Bill Sollows and Cal Cox, more thanks to Doc Hendrickson, Dave Silveira, Len Fisher, Judy Fisher, Betty Sollows,
Tom Mc Farland, Sabine, Debbie and Gay. It was especially nice having all the children. I know we all appreciate what Law
Enforcement does for us, it was nice to share a burger and say thanks.
Playground: Is waiting for little customers. We are calling it The #832 SS Flyer. Please see my updated Playground notes in this
newsletter.
Patriot's Night: We were happy to welcome the Boy Scouts to present the colors and present the pledge. Sadly we had issues with the
short video (internet), and the microphone. It was one of those nights I was going coo-coo because of electronic malfunctions.
Thankfully we had a nice turnout and we thank Pam and Byron Orris for hosting the BBQ. Thank you Gay for the music. Patriot's
night is a time for remembering our county and those lost in 911. We will make changes next year, so we don't have malfunctions.
Luau: San Rafael Lodge joined with the Napa Lodge for an ENF Fundraising Luau. We had approximately 80 folks in attendance.
DDGER Joe Tato was the leading chef, he was joined by members of San Rafael lodge and the Napa chefs were Bill Sollows and Cal
Cox. Serving, decorating and cashiers from Napa were the Fishers, the Silveira's, Betty Sollows, Sheila Cox, Linda and Ron Rae. The
food was delicious and the music from The Ukulele Family Ohana was wonderful. The Ukulele Family had over 22 members,
playing, dancing & singing. What a treat! They even tried to teach the Napa folks how to Hula, such fun. You can catch that
performance on our Facebook page. On this occasion Gabriella Tato was awarded the US president’s award for youth volunteer,
congratulation Gabriella. Many thanks going to Charlie Travers for his donation to ENF. As you can guess this was a busy night at the
Napa Elks.

The Elks Ear Well October snuck in while I was busy listening to the members at the bar telling me what we were doing wrong. We are going
to have to be more vigilant because November is really sneaky. Did you come to our ENF fundraiser? Oh come on you know
what ENF is we talked about that last month! San Rafael Lodge brought over a ton of great food from Hawaii and a slue (a slue
is 5 more than a flock) of Hawaiian dancers and Ukulele players. A video was made of our fellow Elks learning to hula. It has
been forwarded to the America Can Dance Show!! This is where a lot of volunteers from both lodges made it happen; the Elks
can be fun and rewarding.
We are starting our first event at our new Gazebo on October 1st. This will truly be a learning experience! The event will feature
a group called "Jazz by Joyce". Food and adult beverages will be in place. We hope to have a full venue next year.
Our District Deputy will have his visitation on October 4th. This is where he tells us although we seem to be able to keep our
doors open; with a little more attention to details we could really be good. Our Officers do a very good job of making sure we
are one of the best Lodges around and the pay is great!!
The Holiday season is peeking around the corner. It is amazing how many events we get involved in. If you
really want to get your feet wet (and sometimes you do) check with anyone who looks like they might know
something, and you will be put to work.
The best is yet to come!
A Playground Update First, my apology to Mary Mattioda, Mary made a generous donation to the Playground.
The donation was listed as a Taco Tuesday baked goods donation and not under her
name. It took us a while to trace this down, but please know all donations to the
playground are appreciated. Thank you Mary!
The playground has had its issues in getting completed. In short, we had too much dirt,
not enough dirt, not level, not safe, placed in the wrong spot & groundcover decisions.
The good news is Jim Van Winden will finish up the playground soon, he will secure the
area and put in the groundcover. We will all be happy to see this project finished. I hope
to have a play date for the little ones soon, since the play set is a ship we hope to have
sailor hats and will serve punch and cookies. Date for this launching is pending.
Thank you everyone. Sandy Silveira E.R.
