Exalted Ruler Message September '23
Greetings
fellow Elks members:
Thank you for your
attendance at the family picnic, the food and company was awesome! I would like to thank Justin Bonnett, Ryan Holthus,
and Tanner McCreedy, for helping cut wood. Also, thank you Doc for showing up
as usual to get make sure we got the meat seasoned, on the fire and then
cutting it for us all to enjoy. And I can't forget Jeremy Cranston for
the use of his equipment to dig the hole for the fire. I am sure I am
forgetting many, but thank you to everyone that made the family picnic a
success. We celebrated our past
secretary's 71st birthday with cake and song. Happy Birthday Doug
Alexander.
All of our members are
very important. However, if you have not paid your dues, please do so as
soon as possible. We have already paid for your dues in April at the
state and national level. So, your "reimbursement" is very
important to us and is required for your participation in the golf outing
on October 1st.
Golf registrations are
due September 22nd, dues payment and registration fees would be very much
appreciated at that time. The catfish feed, Calcutta and game night is
September 28th. The Catfish feed is included with your
registration. Calcutta purchases will need to be paid separately that
night from dues and registration. So... if needed, please bring 3 checks
or plenty of cash. 
There will
be prizes on some of the holes, yet to be determined. We will keep
you posted. Sign up at the lodge.
September brings back
Pizza Night, Stagette and Wing Night. Please watch the calendar and your
emails for events.
September 7th is our
VP visit with Doug Alexander on September 7th We will also be installing
2 initiates. Your presence is appreciated.
Moving to October....
Broasted chicken night
will be moved to the 1st Saturday of each month starting in October. Ryan
Ford has scheduled a PER meeting for October 26th. If you are a PER,
please plan to attend. PER dues will be decided at this meeting.
If you are not
receiving the emails, or newsletters, please reach out to Tammy at fairfieldelkssec@gmail.com. If you have any complaints or
suggestions for our lodge, please let us know. Share this and all
information with your fellow Elks and potential Elks.
Enjoy your labor day!
Fraternally,
Steve Winslow
