Brothers and Sisters in Elkdom, we have near-ly completed 2/3 of the summer. Ugh! I

know nobody wants to hear that. You would thinkthat the lodge has been idle, but it has not. Theend of summer brings the start of school. I am incrediblyhappy to announce that the lodge applied for and receivedtwo grants totaling: $5500. These grants will ensure that thechildren at Prudence Crandall will be clothed and ready to gowhen school starts. A big tip of the antlers to PER Deb Scarlett for setting this up. Another Tip of the Antlers goes to Mary Schmitt and Tom

Higgins for assisting with the great Father’s Day Breakfast.Not only did we have breakfast, but the officers performedthe Father’s Day Ritual for the very first time.The Trustees pulled off a successful Pig Roast to close off

June. Over 90 tickets were sold and a total of $2700 of profitwas made that day. In fact, the 50/50 winner netted morethan $700 in winnings. Proceeds will be used towards theState Major Projects that is due from last fiscal year. Thisevent should even be more successful next year! The trustees of the lodge continue to brighten the building.

If you have not seen the basement hall in a while, you shouldlook at its glimmer once again. The trustees will be workingon updating the bathrooms as well as the path by the kitchen.Can you imagine what a few volunteers and some gallons ofpaint can do to brighten up a room? Speaking of cleaning up, I would be remiss in thanking the

Sunday morning cleanup crew of PER Andy Bisi, KerryPreissel and Robert Hutter. Without your volunteer hourseach Sunday, the lodge would struggle to find volunteers toclean the bar area as well as the bathrooms both in the barand upstairs too. Tip of the antlers to these fine Elks. The Antlers have also scheduled their first fundraiser.

They will be hosting a pasta supper on Friday, August 13thfrom 5 - 8 PM. Tickets are only $10 and will be availablebehind the bar as well as online. Tickets can also be pur-chased the day of. Please come support our future Elks.I had the honor of representing our lodge at the National

Convention in Tampa earlier in July. I was able to meet manyfine Elks from as close as Meriden to as far away as SanLuis, CA. Please look for a posting in the lodge highlightingwhat I voted on as a lodge representative as well as informa-tion that I learned too.More is coming in the fall months. Stay tuned for more

fun during future events. Fraternally yours,
