Exalted Ruler Letter:
DO NOT forget that we need your email address to send you the Tale or you can visit our web site.
To the Members,
Well it finally looks like the cold has arrived. We still use the fire pit; you just need to bring a blanket along. Cold weather brings on many things at our lodge. This is the time to plan the shopping, and wrapping of the gifts for the children's fund. We will get a sign up sheet on the board for this. It is also the time we are preparing for our Tom & Jerry party. I will have them printed in a week or so, then please keep an eye out for them in your mail. We had our district deputy audit and we came out looking very well. I have not heard yet if we got a grant from Grand Lodge for the Children's Fund yet, but if we got it, you will be notified on our website. I have received several compliments about our website, we can get the info out to all members every week with NO EXPENSE to our lodge. We did receive request for snail mail of the Tale, which we will honor. It seems very strange that we did not get more than we did. We made sure that everyone was notified 3 times; we even sent a mailer for just this reason. I feel that this indicated to me and our lodge that most just don't read it. Unfortunately this is a great way to keep on top of what is happening at YOUR lodge. It was passed that we increase our line of credit in order to keep the lodge current with the bills that never quit coming. Thanks in part to the restaurant; we are now in the black with the club. If our members would visit and use the facility, we would stay in the black year round. You are all welcome to email me with any suggestions at jefff@allstarorthodontics.com I would really like to hear how we have done since our year is now half over. I will try to answer any questions quickly.
Don't forget the Halloween Party! Dress up and join the fun.
Happy Halloween
Jeff Fasnacht, Exalted Ruler

THANK YOU
On behalf of myself, the “Golf Committee”, all volunteers and the participants, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this years “Elks #521 Children’s Fund Golf Outing”. A number of people contributed in a variety of ways and all were greatly appreciated. For those of you who were not able to join us at the club I would again like to recognize one of those people whose contributions to the Children’s Fund and golf outing I honored at the luncheon with the inaugural “Butler Award” This award recognizes both the founder of the golf outing Randy Butler PER, and Bev Butler, who is responsible for making our children’s fund what it is today. I gave this award to Anita Hancock and I’ll only make two statements concerning how much she helped in all phases of this years outing, 1) without her “help” the outing would not have taken place, 2) THANK YOU!!.
With the year that the city of Columbus has had, there were a record number of people who needed help and even knowing that the community, as always, would step up and fulfill the needs of it’s citizens, I was afraid that the contributors were “all given out” for this year. Well even though we had fewer golfers than last year, at the time of this letter, with some contributions still to come, we have raised over $4200.00 for the Children’s Fund.
A list of all contributors is available at the lodge, and please makes an effort to patronize those who help us any time we need help. Again thanks to all who helped. (P.S. Applications are being accepted for next years Golf Outing Chairman, so don’t delay as I believe there will be a long list of candidates!!)
