Exalted Ruler Letter:

To the Members, Merry Christmas to All,
Tis that time of year. We have raised a fair amount for the Children's Fund, but would certainly like to be able to take care of more children. This year with the flooding there are more request for help than ever in our community. Please do what you can to help. We have a sign up on the board in the hall for shoppers, wrappers and delivery. Every year it seems that the same great folks do all the work. This lodge belongs to every member, so please participate in helping.
BINGO,
Again it is always the same great members that volunteer to help.
We need more members to help. This is what keeps our doors open. It only takes a few hours every few weeks to take the burden off those who really care enough to help. Give Anita a call and she will see that you have a team to work with. While on this subject, tell the workers THANK YOU, these are not paid positions, it is all volunteer work.
Now for the exciting part. We are only 26 days from the Tom & Jerry Party. Please participate in the raffle, as this is what pays for this event every year. The dance is free to all members and their guest. But with the band and everything else involved it takes about $3000.00 to put this event on. So your participation is very important for the event to continue. I am sure you will have a great time, so join all of us for an evening to remember. We have special guest this year. Don Schoeff who is our State President and John Sauer who is our State VP will be my guest at this years event. Please feel free to introduce yourselves, both are very nice folks.
Yours in Elkdom
Jeff Fasnacht,Exalted Ruler.
