Summer may not "officially" arrive until later this month, but we are certainly getting a preview. Regardless of the weather, your Lodge has some "cool" events planned for June. Our annual Flag Day ceremony is scheduled for June 14 at 6pm. This is a very moving ceremony and tradition for our Lodge, something you do not want to miss! Be sure to get your tickets for the Veterans' Committee Shrimp Boil. You will have a delicious meal and help out a very worthy cause. Entertainment, food and fellowship--there is something for everyone this month. Be sure to put your newsletter calendar where you can review it every day! Remember to visit Club 609 on the 2nd Monday of the month to dine in or take out. (Thank you to Linda for her continued support of our Christmas Basket project!) There are many new faces at the Lodge. Be sure to go up and introduce yourself if you do not know someone. We are a family of Elks, and we should make each new member feel welcome! If you know of a member ill at home or in the hospital, please tell our secretary or one of the bartenders in the Lounge. Sometimes a prayer is all we can offer up, and we all need someone praying for us. Like Elks across this nation, your Lodge is loud and proud: we are striving to "Be the Difference" in Joplin and the surrounding four-states community. Come out and see what you have missed!
It's Great to Be an Elk!
