Hello Elk brothers & sisters,Here we are in our final month of thefraternal year! Many feeling are bubblingin me as I end my final month of service asyour Esteem Loyal Knight. For the pasttwo year, I have had the pleasure to taketwo chairs at our lodge. I know many ofyou are disappointed that I’m not movingon to the next two chairs at this time, butplease know I’ll still be around to help.For personal reasons, I have made thedecision to step aside and return to schoolto further my education. Over the pastfew years, I have had to make manychanges in my life and this is one of them.I have learned a lot about myself and aboutElkdom during these past two years, andI thank you all for your trust, love andsupport. Elkdom is not just a word in myvocabulary; I see it as a charitablebrotherhood and sisterhood missionacross the nation. It’s our way of givingback to those less fortunate. I trulybelieve in helping our Major Project ithas made a huge difference for manychildren’s lives over the years. The MajorProject reaches many children withdisabilities, and I try my best to helpweekly through volunteering at Bingo.The fact that we are able to make a differencein not just one child, but thousands, hasmoved me over these years to trulydedicate my time on Thursday nights toBingo. Bingo is our major charitablefundraiser and working alongside somegreat people, it has been a joy.As the lodge continues to grow and moveforward, I hope and pray that many morepeople will step out of their comfort zoneand give time in volunteer at the lodge.The lodge can only function if we bandtogether to do our part in giving back: bycleaning, fixing, donating, andcoordinating functions that benefit ourlodge. Instead of sitting back andpointing the finger and saying, why don’tthey do this? Or Why don’t they do thatwell? Take a step forward in helping tocoordinate a function that supports thelodge or our Major Project. We need tostay focus on keeping Elkdom alive bysupporting what’s going to be best forour lodge.Finally, let’s remember that Justice meansto be fair with a smile and not with a frown.When we show justice, we show itthrough our actions by being kind, fairand righteous to one another. I know thiscomes easy to many and with God’s helpand guidance, it’s possible for all. Weneed to choose to love one another as wecontinue to make this the best lodgearound! Let’s keep having fun!Your Esteem Loyal Knight,Julie Gomez

News and notes from the chairof Brotherly Love. Life is ajourney, not a destination. Aswe enter the third month of2015, I hope your journey isgoing well! By the end of themonth we will one-fourththrough 2015! Crazy!

The always popular Pork-E-Que is scheduled for Sundaythe 15th from 3:00-7:00. Themusic for this closed event willbe provided by Susie and theCruizers. So if you like deeppit BBQ, fun and games: besure to circle the date on yourcalendar. Installation of newofficers for 2015-16 will beheld on the 31st. Please comeout and show your support asthey start their journeytogether!

Brotherly Love can havemany different meanings orinterpretations; it is a little likebeauty- it is in the eye of thebeholder. Some look at it in theliteral sense- your immediatefamily members, or thefigurative sense: spiritual lovefor all. I look at in this way:are you a “lift” or a “drag” inlife. Being a “lift” suggests youare a positive factor in yourwork, home life, and withfriends. Those people can feeland see Brotherly Love inaction. Being a “drag”, ofcourse, has a negativeconnotation. The BrotherlyLove vibe is not present.People can see and feel that aswell. “There is a destiny thatmakes us brothers, no one goeshis own way alone; all that wesend into the lives of others,comes back into our own.”Edwin Markham

Have a great month! Stay well!

Fraternally,Tim ConklinLecturing Knight

So as we close the dooron another fraternal year a much biggerdoor opens. I would first like to saythat this year has been an absolutepleasure. As a matter of fact the lastthree years as an officer I’ve seen somegreat things happen. Our lodge sitsbetter financially; Monday nights offeredvolunteer driven No Frills dinners.Saturday night bands and DJ’s havebrought in big crowds. What was onceone of our slower nights, Wednesdaynow is hopping with karaoke and ourgreat Bingo crew as taken theirThursdays to the next level. Our hallreceived a major facelift and rentals haveincreased significantly. Even ourtraditional events such as ChristmasTree Lanes, Pork-E-Ques, Crab Cracks,Valentines Dances, New Years Eves,Monday Night Footballs and SuperBowls have all seen record attendances.As Exalted Ruler next month, I’mlooking forward to building on thesefine lodge accomplishments. But likein the past, nothing can successfully bedone without you… our members. Bothin volunteering to put on great eventsand committees that will surpassprevious years to attending as manyfunctions, visiting our restaurant andbar as much as possible. It’s you thatmakes our lodge a success and fun toattend along with your family andfriends. Our House committee and BODwill continue with the necessary controlsto affirm our financial future. Nancy andGus and crew have agreed to continuewith making Bingo the biggest yearyet. Our new Lodge Secretary will bringa new perspective to our office andaccounting. Our Club Manager Beckywill continue to keep our rental hallfull and provide the best food and serviceto our members. I have a few plans ofmy own and look forward to makingour lodge the envy of not only ourdistrict but Southern California!

On meeting electionnight, I have never been more proud ofour lodge. A huge turnout showed upin support it and its ideology. Myfriends, this is only a part of Elkdomand the beliefs we share in commongoal. The spreading antlers of protectionwere out in full like none other I’vewitnessed before. I wish there was timeI could have thanked each and everyone of you. Through the course of theyear, I will. Now is the time we put ourpolitical differences aside and bandunited as Elks in making our lodge thevery best it can be

Fraternally,Dana W. WilliamsLeading Knight
