Dues, Snooze, Looz
Hello Ashland BPOE #944 Members!!
If you notice, about this time each year your dues at old #944 and your Federal
taxes become due. BPOE dues are due and payable by April 1 each year (by man-
date of the Grand Lodge) and the Grand Lodge portion must be sent to the Grand
Lodge on that date.
So, on April 1 of each year our secretary, Steve Booth, must send the dues for
ALL 800 + members of #944 to Grand Lodge. Thus the unhappy, mournful look
on Steve's face because only about 300+ of us have paid our dues by April Fool’s
Day! This results in a severe defi cit in the bankroll of 944. In the neighborhood of
$10,000.........Ouch.
So what's the answer?? You will receive your bill for dues for the 2013 fi scal year in
March AND THEY ARE DUE AND PAYABLE BY APRIL FIRST. Please keep Steve happy
and pay your dues on time.
ELKS CARE-----ELKS SHARE-----Do you care enough to pay on time?

December 19 Bruce Dwight $140.00
January 2 Jim Loegel $160.00

ER’s Message
This is the penultimate month for me as your Exalted Ruler. I will save next
month’s article for reminiscing, as there is a lot to talk about that just happened,
and is about to happen at the Lodge!
As I write this, I am still recovering from the cold/fl u/whatever that hit me and
so many of us after the Chili Cook-Off , but that did not hamper my enjoyment
at the event. We had an excellent turnout of fi refi ghters. And lots of good chili
to share. Polly did a great job organizing and keeping the evening running, and
Hamfi st was a lot of fun to listen to! My thanks go out to all the volunteers who
made this event possible!
This was followed by the O.S.E.A. Presidential visit to the Southwest district at
our Lodge. Again, we had an amazing crew of volunteers to make this event hap-
pen. (Pictures and thanks in the next bulletin.) I think Kay and Mike had a enjoy-
able day with some wine tasting at 2 Hawk Winery. (This is a gorgeous tasting
room, made of recycled material from all over the Rogue Valley. If you have not
seen it, you should really check it out.) This was followed of course by the dinner
for the District and State Elks. Although I was disappointed in the turnout from the
other Lodges in the district, Ashland was very well represented by all the offi cers
who did not already have the crud, and a lot of members who came out to sup-
port Kay and the Lodge for this important event.
Dinner was followed by an auction of a beautiful wooden intarsia elk head
made by Fred Hatfi eld, PER. The Ashland offi cers and some members chipped in
to raise enough money to win this auction, and this sculpture will be hanging in
the Lodge in a place of honor. Then we gave Kay & Mike and Bill & Sharon James
some gifts from the District. The traditional Southwest District gift is a myrtlewood
clock, and Bill & Sharon received a small one, and Kay received a president sized
one! This was no surprise to Kay who has seen this gift given year after year, but
she was still looking forward to receiving it. What was a surprise to Kay was the
other sculpture that Fred made. This was another wooden intarsia piece, but this
time it was a giant reproduction of the pin that Kay designed for her year as Presi-
dent. I think she was actually speechless with surprise at this extra special eff ort
from Fred for the Ashland Lodge. (See image below.) No Turning Back entertained
us the rest of the evening, making this a truly successful visit. As always, we had
great compliments from District and State attendees.
That brings me up to the present, and February also has some important
events as you will see in this bulletin. The fi rst and second nominations of offi cers
are coming up in the next two weeks. We are still searching for a couple of posi-
tions, so if you have any interest at all in what it means to be an offi cer, contact me
or Aaren. (Our numbers are listed on page 2.) PER/Old Timers night will be on the
13th. This is a fun meeting to attend, as it is all done by previous Exalted Rulers. Be-
fore the meeting is a free Prime Rib dinner at 5:30 p.m. Come on out to the Lodge,
and if you are friends with any of the pin-worthy Elks listed to the right of this ar-
ticle, encourage them to come down to the Lodge, maybe even off er them a ride.
February 16th is the Sweethearts, Friends and Lovers Ball & Awards Ceremony.
I will get to recognize some great members with the Elk of the Year, Offi cer of
the Year, and Citizen of the Year awards. Jim is cooking dinner and best of all his
famous Strawberry Seduction Dessert! After the awards, Robbie DaCosta will play
music for a night of dancing and fun. Get your reservation in for this event.
As always, I want to thank all of the members who have made these events pos-
sible. We are a volunteer organization, and I am constantly proud and impressed
at how well our Lodge performs. If you have been any part of these events, either
as a participant, or a volunteer of any kind, you should also be proud. If not, then I
urge you to make an eff ort to do whatever you can, at whatever your ability, to be
a contributor to this amazing group.
Fraternally,
Michael Golden

Old Timers Awards List
Please come Wednesday, February 13th and enjoy a FREE Prime Rib Dinner at 5:30
p.m. ALL Elks invited. Join us for Lodge at 7:30 p.m. run by PERs. Longevity pins
will be awarded. Our heartiest congratulations to the following:
The Happy Corner
At our January 9th meeting Ron Corallo’s name was drawn for our
Big Kitty and, since he was present, Ron is now $170.00 richer!
Where is the Love? As Elks, we love our communities. Instead of sending val-
entines, we show our communities we love them by meeting
local needs. That’s why so many Lodges work to meet the Na-
tional President’s per-member-giving goal of $4.50 to qualify for
a $2,000 Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant. Lodges use these grants to
serve their communities in many ways.
Look at Boulder, Colo., Lodge No. 566, which used its ENF Gratitude Grant to
support local veterans. The Lodge supplies veterans in need with necessities, en-
tertainment items and more.
“Our Gratitude Grant gives the Boulder Elks an opportunity to help community
members in need,” says Project Manager James Luckow. “There is never enough
we can do to repay our veterans for their sacrifi ces, but with the help of our ENF
grant, we’ve made their lives a little easier.”
This Valentine’s day, let’s show our community how much we love it. How can
our Lodge use ENF Community Investments Program grants like the Gratitude
Grant to meet local needs? Visit www.elks.org/enf/community for complete de-
tails on the ENF Community Investments Program.
The Elks National Foundation helps Elks build stronger communities through
programs that support youth, honor veterans, and meet needs in areas where Elks
live and work. For more information on the ENF, visit www.elks.org/enf.
Chili Cook-OffThe Chili Cook off was once again a huge success. Over 100 people came down to show their support of the Firefi ghters and the Lodge. We had 11 Chilis entered into
the contest this year. More than 20 Firefi ghters and their families attended. The band was wonderful as always. (People even DANCED!) It was just a great night. A
basketful of thank you’s to all for coming and to all you Chili cookers. Congratulations to Mary Danca, Jim Marston and Linda Goldfarb for their winning concoctions.
I’d like to especially thank the servers and cooks, cashiers and bussers: Jim Potter, Mary Cooper, Michael Bates, Michael Golden, Leslee Freeman, Mary Danca, Christina
Dunlap, Gary Johnston and Victoria Lane, Pat Stonier, Linda Goldfarb, Cameron Hanson, Joe and Barbara Judy, Ron Corallo, Karen Wellburn, Diane Bennett, Jim Marston,
Martin Williams and Pam Crowley. And of course Maria Baptiste, April Carrington, and Kathy Price for busting their tails off . Patrick, thank you for taking all those great
photos. HAMFIST: YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you and see you next year!
Polly Stonier, Tiler
New Year’s Eve GratitudeMany thanks to all the members and volunteers who helped make our New Year’s Eve Party a success. The morning crew did a fantastic job of decorating and the
evening crew did a terrifi c job of making sure guests...all 160 of them...were welcomed at the door, off ered raffl e tickets throughout the night and served food quickly
and effi ciently. My volunteer list seems smaller than the number of people who made this a success. If I have missed anyone, my sincere apologies to you. I still thank
you in my heart...please let me know and I will note it in the next bulletin. Those who supported the event with their volunteer time are (in no special order): Michael
Golden (well, he is always fi rst on my list), Charlie Eien, Susan Dallas, Wayne and Elaine Hamlin, Berniece Monning, Wendy Adams, Rhonda Brustol, Mark and Peggy
Severson, Julia, Tom and Andrew Woosnam, Paul Gleason, Pat and Michael Bates, Jim Marston, Cameron Hanson, Scott Hall, Suzanne Haveman, Sharon Manfre, Victoria
Wade, Fred and Debi Hatfi eld, Jeannette McCartney, Howdy and Debbie Miller, Hal Bishop...I just know I am missing someone....sorry and thank you all again for your
hard work and commitment to our Lodge. Special thanks to Jim Potter, his cooking crew: Jim Marston and Garrett Johnston, his waitresses from Rooster’s Restaurant,
to our dishwasher Scott, and bartenders April, Kathy and Morgan. My thanks also go to Ashland Scout Troop 112 for helping with dinner!

Veterans’ Activities ReportThanks to Polly’s dedication, our volunteers, and generous supportive members
and friends at the Annual Wine and Silent Auction, we are able to provide our
local Veterans at (VA) Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and Clinics anoth-
er year of social activities. We also stocked the infi rmary cart with personal care
items, more than I ever thought we could provide.
We closed 2012 by donating over $800 in quality Christmas gifts from babies up
to teens to SORCC families and hosted a Christmas lunch with gifts for the lady
residents, who were delighted to be at our Lodge.
On January 4, 2013 we started the year with a Happy New Years Lunch for HUD
VASH veterans (HUD Assisted Services Housing) at our Lodge - complete with
beautiful holiday decorations. Two weeks later, on January 15th we sponsored a
lunch at Roosters for the Activity Exploration Class from the VA. Lunch was great
and we all enjoyed the day.
Coming up in February we will host a lunch for the PRRC (Psycho-Social Rehabili-
tation and Recovery Center) program. We will need six volunteers to help serve
on Friday, February 22. This is a rare sit -down meal for the men. Following the
luncheon, SORCC staff will present awards to the attendees. This is a very nice
event and as always, the veterans are grateful for our support.
Coming up later in the season: Lunch for the ladies in February, Jet boat excur-
sions for both men and women this Summer and other fun events. I will keep you
posted as more activities materialize.
Thank you to our members who have graciously spent time with the Veterans
during our activities. It means a lot to both the men and the women to have
people take an interest in them, listen to their stories and learn about their lives.
We all appreciate being liked and cared for, and Veterans appreciate the social
interactions. Self worth is a giant step in each Veteran’s recovery and these events
help their ability to interact and move on in life.
Please contact me if you are interested in participating in upcoming events. You
will benefi t as much from the experience as our Veterans appreciate your support.
On top of that, you will have a fun and interesting time.

Lodge Hosts Scholarship InterviewsOn Saturday, January 5, 2013 the Lodge’s Scholarship Committee hosted inter-
views for the annual scholarship competition. This competition is open to all se-
nior students at Ashland High School and Phoenix High School. The competition
is based on several factors, including fi nancial need, grade point average, extra-
curricular activities, demonstrated leadership and an essay. The fi nal stage of the
process is the interview panel, which was conducted by Lodge members Tim Mc-
Cartney, Joan Becich, Larry Christensen, Mike Ainsworth and Tighe O’Meara.
This year we had 22 applicants apply for the scholarships, all from Ashland High
School. After initial scoring by scholarship committee chairperson Barbara Chris-
tensen, the top three boys and the top three girls moved on to the interview stage
held on the 5th of January at the Lodge.
The interviews allowed members of the panel to ask questions of the applicants
concerning their plans for the future, and what has been their most important ac-
complishment in high school, along with other questions.
After the interviews were completed, scores from all of the members of the panel
were tallied and the six fi nalists were ranked for a fi nal standing. After scoring, the
boys were ranked as: 1st place Alexander Sukles; 2nd place William Crowley; and
3rd place Niilo Snyder. The fi nalist girls were ranked as: 1st place Isabel Whitcomb;
2nd place Theanah Hannon; and 3rd place Kasey Baker. Each of these very impres-
sive young people will be awarded a scholarship from the Lodge.
Alexander Sukles and Isabel Whitcomb will move on the Elks’ district competition
in Coos Bay, and from there (hopefully) on to state and national competition. The
further Alexander and Isabel can make it through the district, state and national
competition, the more money they will be awarded to go toward college.
The Lodge will host an awards ceremony for the six fi nalists on February 27th at
6 p.m. Please plan on arriving for dinner a bit early to congratulate them all, and
wish all of the scholarship applicants good luck.
Tighe O’Meara
Initiation Night...featuring Dinner!Each month on Initiation night, for just $7, we are serving
dinner at 6:15 p.m. before the meeting. Come out and have
dinner, and then come to see the initiation of our newest
members!
These dinners are cooked, served and cleaned up by an all
-volunteer staff . If you would like to help, please call Fred
Hatfi eld. 541.601.5002
Friday Night Dinner MusicAs some of you may have already experienced, we have had a special guest
for some of our Friday dinners. Scott Morris Salterman has been kind enough to
come and play our piano during dinner, and I expect he will be coming back in
the future. He is incredibly talented, and a pleasure to listen to. He does not have
a regular schedule with us, but I expect to have him over for dinner frequently.
If you know of any other musicians who would be willing to come play during
dinner for tips and a meal, please have them contact me.

Our Lapsed MembersCome Back...We Need You!I urge all of those members who have not yet paid
their 2012 dues to contact the offi ce to arrange pay-
ment as soon as possible.
Lapsed members hurt our lodge in many ways. Of
course, we hope that all Elks want to continue to
be Elks. It makes a healthy, vibrant lodge to keep our
membership up and current. In addition it COSTS the
lodge $$ to have lapsed members. This is not just be-
cause we are counting on the membership dues (we are,) but part of those dues
must be prepaid to our national and state associations. We do not get a refund if a
member does NOT choose to pay or renew. Money is one of the lodge's most pre-
cious resources, and conserving it, raising it, and using it wisely is in my opinion,
one of the most important charges that the offi cers and trustees have.
What follows is a list of lapsed members as of this writing. If you have paid since
this went to publication... THANK YOU! If not, please do so, as your lodge needs
you. This list is not presented to cause anyone embarrassment. It is the only way I
have of communicating to all of you who we need to contact, and a way for you to
know if you think you have already paid, that we don't have record of it.
Come Back! We Need You!
Michael Golden, Exalted Ruler
• If you have NOT paid your dues, please do so, or contact me if to discuss.
• If you know a member that has not paid, please urge them to do so.
• If you sponsored a member that is on this list, please contact them.
• If you are on the list of lapsed members, and think you HAVE paid, please
contact me or the offi ce to fi gure why we think you have not.

Super Bowl Sunday Pot LuckJoin fellow Elks and their guests Sunday, Feb. 3, for Super
Bowl XLVII, to be shown on our large-screen televisions in the
lounge and dining room. Wear your favorite team colors -- or
not -- and enjoy various munchies, including chili, chili dogs
and items you’d like to bring to enhance the potluck. (Chris
Belcastro says she’ll be making her Polynesian meatballs that
were a hit last year.) The lounge will open at 3 p.m., with kick-
off slated to begin shortly after 3:30 p.m. A donation of $5
is suggested to help defray the costs to the Lodge. Be there
to watch the teams battle it out on the gridiron with your
favorite beverage and fellow Elks close at hand. Not a football
fan? Bring along your favorite Trivia game (Beatles and I Love
Lucy have been suggested), backgammon board, dominoes
or card games. Someone’s always up for a game.

Feel Like Dancing?Dave & Margo Johnson are kind enough
to provide us with music for dancing every
month on Birthday-Orientation night! Put

the dancing logo on the calendar. Music & Dancing!
LOVE TO COOK?Do you love to cook? Have an interest in helping your Lodge? We need volunteer
chefs for the Initiation meeting of each month. We have a few members who
have cooked simple, inexpensive meals for dinner before our initiation meeting
and would like to have more people to rotate in each month. If you are interested,
please contact an offi cer to let us know. Sample menus have included lasagna,
teriyaki chicken, macaroni and cheese, etc... We usually serve 30-40 dinners and
the lodge will support you by ordering the main ingredients for you. You can cook
at home and bring it in to warm up or use the kitchen for cooking. (Expenses will
be covered by the Lodge.)
