Dunkirk Elks Newsletter 
March and April 2023 - SCROLL DOWN! 
   Hello all! Spring is coming, but don’t put your coats away just yet. LOL!  Dunkirk Elks has been a fun place to be the last couple months with the BB Shoot and the Canvas painting.  Kyle Odom was the BB shoot winner congratulations. Everyone was a winner with the canvas painting.  My picture looked like a 1st grader did it but I still enjoyed it.  I was
so happy to hear everyone talking about the next time, I think that’s positive.  Big thanks goes out to Mike & Cindy Shepherd & family, Bob & Tammy Ford, Joe & Sue Sommers, Barry & Doris Barger, Afton Hines.  Thanks to George Lopez for providing music.  We also got to enjoy our PER James Fulks singing with them which is always nice.  I think James missed his calling.  The lodge looked great; the food was delicious.  To all the cookie makers they were a great added touch and yummy.  Thanks to everyone who bought & sold tickets we will be able to send a nice donation to
IU and Purdue Cancer Research. 

   We are looking for ideas to raise money to update the dining room.  We feel that we could rent the room for income more often if that could happen.  The ceiling needs to be painted, and the walls could use a coat or two of paint and it would be fantastic if we could replace the floor.  Please let us know if you have suggestions on this project.  PS does anyone happen to have an Electric Fireplace that they would like to get rid of?

   We are in the process of getting the frames on the doors  around the back side of the building repaired as they were rotting away.  Barb Irelan made a generous donation of $500. for this project.  Thanks Barbie!

   March 11th is the Kids Easter Party.  Food, games, and the Easter Bunny is coming  with an Easter egg hunt.  Party starts at 3pm to 5pm bring your kids or grandkids and enjoy.

   March 11th is also the monthly drawing & we will draw for the Fishers Meat Bundle 7PM.  Once again, we need to thank Joe Sommers and Barb Irelan for covering the cost of the Meat.  Thanks to Steve and Jo Metz for preparing and purchasing the tickets.  The proceeds from this will be divided between Cancer Research and Scholarship.  Thanks everyone.

   March 16th will be Installation of Officers at 7pm if you would like to attend.

   April 1st is another Breakfast 8am to 10am if you haven’t come out for this you are missing out.  $8.50 + tax all you can eat.
