GREETINGS TO ALL IN THE BENEVOLENT AND PROTECTIVE ORDER!!


As the dog days of summer, pool parties, heat waves, and kids going back to school give way to the approach of autumn, yep, another summer has flown by.

In my recent travels I'm already seeing some leaves changing colours in rural areas of Pennsylvania and Upstate New York, so it's certainly that time of year already.

The Dunkirk Elks Lodge has certainly been very busy.

A very good turnout of both volunteers to help, and (most importantly) paying customers, supported our cheeseburger and hot dog stand at The Dunkirk Glass Days Event held recently.

Our Tuesday evening meal sales has remained consistent with the Lodge averaging between 80 and 100 meals virtually every Tuesday evening. Thanks to all who help, and to all who patronize the Lodge each Tuesday.

If you have a specific meal that you would like to prepare for a Tuesday evening meal, let ER Vicky May know and The Lodge will put you on the schedule for a Tuesday evening meal night.

Beginning on Friday September 27th The Dunkirk Elks Lodge will resume opening for Friday evenings for the fall and winter.

The Lodge will be open.
Tuesday 4-8
Thursday 4-8
Friday (Beginning on September 27th) 4-8
Saturday 4-9

Stop by and say hello to a couple of new faces behind the bar.
Cindy Lowe Shepherd and Jack Million.
Welcome aboard as Lodge Employees!!

DDGER NICOLE SIGLER and her entourage have scheduled the DDGER Visitation for Thursday Sept 19th, so all Members and Officers should plan to attend The Lodge Meeting on Thursday September 19th.

The Indiana Elks Autumn State Convention will be held in Franklin Indiana on October 4th and 5th. - https://indianaelks.org/state-conventions/

Stay tuned to our Elks Lodge website and social media page for upcoming details of an autumn bowling tournament in the Lodge in the coming months.

There are scholarships available for area youths from Our Order and Vicky has been sharing the information of these opportunities on her social media page. Feel free to look it up or contact her for further details.

A very sincere thank you for all who continue to support YOUR Lodge.

We remain open for business, serve a lot of good meals, and are able to support the causes we care about, because of all of your patronage and loyal support of YOUR LODGE!!

It's all for the greater good!!

Attached you will see meal plans for your Tuesday evening meals in September and October.
