America, America

God shed his grace on thee. As we go for-ward crowning thy good with brotherhood let us celebrate the fact that we are brothers and sisters that share this great country to-gether. As the Memorial Day holiday passes us by and Independence Day seems not far away it is a good time to be grateful for such a wonderful country. Take a few moments to consider what makes this a great country. Recall the sacrifices men and women have made to ensure the freedom we enjoy every day. Take inventory on what you do (this would be a good time to put your index finger to the tip of your nose) yes, I am asking YOU. What do you do to make this country great? Consider sharing your efforts and accomplishments with others and ask your friends and family the same question.

Some ideas of activities you might consider doing or doing again that engage you and others in making this a greater country are;

- Attending scheduled event to promote patriotism

- Making a silent prayer of thanksgiving for the men and women both past and present for their obliga-tion to our armed forces

- Flying a flag or several flags at your home

- Contributing to a charitable cause by volunteering or providing financial aid

- Wear patriotic clothing and speak proudly of this country

Take pride in all you do to contribute the success of America and encourage others to do the same. To-gether as a united nation let’s move forward with a renewed spirit of patriotism and enjoy the freedom that was purchased by the blood and sweat of brave Americans. What YOU do matters and I thank you!

Like a restless wind, the 100 years of the 20th Century has quickly passed. The years between 1900 and 1999 are the most recorded in our history. As the infor-mation and electronic capabilities are developed and expanded, records can be con-veniently stored and accessed. Some of the headlines of those years can be re-minders of our past.

Babe Ruth pounds 60 home runs in a single season. Ted Williams attains an unheard of seasonal batting average of over the .400 mark. Jack Dempsey becomes boxing’s world heavyweight champion. New York Jets Quarterback Joe Namath proves to be a fan favorite. The National Football League merges with the Ameri-can Football League. The Panama Canal is built. The majority of America’s popula-tion moves from farms to an urban society. The airplane is developed as a weapon and as a commercial necessity. The automobile becomes a major method of trans-portation. Penicillin is discovered. Transplants are common. Light bulbs replace whale oil lanterns. America picks herself up after the havoc created by the Great Plains’ dust storms, and the Great Depression. The Charleston quickly becomes popular with the dancing crowd. Movie actor Rudolph Valentino begins a long chain of heartthrobs. The Beatles and other British groups invade the U.S. Big bands disband. The popular era of movie and TV westerns fades. American Band-stand draws a large viewing audience. The Lawrence Welk TV Show enjoys a long run. Drive-in movie locations flourish, then die out. Carhops on skates disappear as fast food outlets change to inside service. Green stamps are saved to trade for merchandise. The famous B-17 bombers are retired. Battleships are considered obsolete. Officials prepare for outer space wars. The 1939 New York City World’s Fair features electric washers, televisions, and an ice-making refrigerator. Astro-nauts become household heroes. As new states join the union, stars are added to the flag.

Like the Kentucky Derby, the Indy 500 and the Olympics, the 21st Century

has gotten off to a fast start, and has compiled a mass of information.

BINGO NEWS

Bingo is a big part of our Lodge both

from a revenue standpoint and vol-

unteerism. Each Wednesday and

Friday between 10-20 volunteers

support our open to the pubic bingo

sessions downstairs, and work in the

snack bar to provide food for the

patrons.

The bingo “family” has a ton of fun

working together, and are very loyal

to their regular commitment. We are

always welcoming of new people. If

this sounds like something you

might like to help with, please pop

down and ask for me. You can com-

mit to once/month, once/week, or

every session. There are many dif-

ferent “jobs”. Some start at 7:30 (set

-up, selling cards, etc); you can just

work the actual bingo floor time,

which is 11:00-1:30; or work in the

snack bar, which is about 9:30-

noon). Some of us are there from

7:30-2:00, but that’s because we are

a bit crazy for bingo.

We particularly need someone(s) to

help with snack bar set-up each

Wednesday and Friday. This job

takes about an hour and needs to be

complete by 9am. It makes sense

that one or two people take this on,

and commit to being “in charge” if

set-up.

Thank you very very much to ALL

who help with Bingo, and to those

who might soon!

Sincerely - Carrie Mesch PER

CHARITABLE WORKS ROYCE DUNBAR , LEADING KNIGHT

I’m happy to report that the Charity Committee had it’s second meeting on Thursday, June 7th. At the meeting we recommitted to making our charitable work a year-round effort by spotlighting a neighborhood charity at each major event. At the recent Jimmy Buffett Saturday Supper, we sold a flock of pink flamingos to dinner guests. From this effort, we gained nearly $250.00! These proceeds will go to “Mean Streets” – a local organization that helps homeless families stay to-

gether and get back on their feet.

Look in the Bugle and Blast for upcoming charitable initiatives. And keep a lookout for a “Charity Suggestion Box” that we will soon have in the Club. We need your ideas and enthusiasm to make this work. Speaking of which, please consider joining us on the Charity Committee. We will be meeting regularly and our next meeting will be held on Thursday, June 28th at 5:30 PM in

the Dining room.

And have no fear. We’ll still be doing our Annual Charity Drive in October! Stay tuned for more

details on how we plan to make this annual effort even more successful.

Venita Collier, chair; Carrie Mesch and Dan Hrouda worked with Jefferson High School Principal, Michael James; Assistant Principal, Josh Shellard and Secretary, Teri Ahr to sponsor a Pre-Graduation Banquet on May 16, 2018. Eighty Jefferson High School Graduates accompanied by parents and staff totaling 206, enjoyed a fantastic evening with Venita’s Spaghetti & Meatball Dinner. The Lodge Room was decorated beautifully by the graduate committee, supervised by Josh Shellard, Assistant Principal, a teacher and Venita.

In addition to the banquet, new gowns were purchased for the graduates and junior escorts. The gowns will be used in years to come by Jefferson High School students who may not be able to afford purchasing their own gown.

This is the 1st year that Jefferson High School has been able to have a dinner for their graduates and it was our greatest pleasure to be able to do this for the school. It was our 1st year as well to use a grant for a high school project. This

project lives on to be utilized by the school year after year.

The parents, students and staff expressed appreciation and Mike James, Principal thanked our kitchen staff and volun-teers.

Julian Salazar and Sonya Hernandez presented to Venita and Dan Hrouda a signed autograph picture of the entire gradu-ate class.

A banquet cannot be successful without volunteers and I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart for all the great volunteer servers we had. It was an amazing evening and I hope that we can do this again for the High School. It is in our plans. We Congratulate the 2018 Saints of Jefferson High and wish them best of luck in the future.

Lakewood Elks ENF Gratitude Grant Provides Jefferson

High School Students Graduation Banquet

ENF BEACON GRANT - Summer

Reading Program - Fantastic

Project

Lakewood Elks #1777 continues with our 6th year of Summer Reading Pro-gram for one of our neighboring schools. On May 15, 2018, 191 Kindergarten through 8th grade at St. Peter & Paul Elementary in Wheat Ridge participated. Venita Collier, chair, coordinated the event with Sister Faustina and secretary, Pat Glassmeyer.

Volunteers read to each class who encouraged the children to read every day throughout the summer and spoken to them about the im-portance of reading. The children then choose the 3 books to take home. As part of the pro-gram, Teachers identified a wide selection of books best for their class including chapter, his-tory and series. All books were identified by a ‘Donated by Lakewood Elks label’. The kids were very attentive, appreciative and ecstatic that these are their books to keep. The teachers, principal, librarian were grateful for this fantastic gift for their students.

There is nothing better than to encourage a child to read, to broaden their mind in many avenues and not to lose their skills they have accomplished during their school year.

ENF Beacon Grant of $2,000.00 provided funding for this project. 6 volunteers participated with this project: Bunny Nelson, Annette Reyn-olds, Melody Casper, Tom Kelly, Madison Tar-box (who by way is also one of the recipients who received a scholarship from the Elks) and myself, Venita Collier. Many thanks to all and we look forward to doing this again next year!

There were some exceptionally great essays. Local winners receive 1st place -$25, 2nd -$15 & 3rd- $10, a framed certificate and a flag. All participants receive a Certificate and each participating class receives Drug Awareness Book Marks and pencils.

All awards were given out at school assemblies in May by Venita Collier, chairman.

This year, the State 1st place winner from Deer Trail, took 1st place at the National level.

Our local judges were Stephen Patterson, Melody Casper and Venita Collier. We enjoy doing this and as I said some of these essays were fantastic. Congratulations to all who participated. Submitted by Venita Collier

VETERANS CORNER WITH TOM KELLY

June already has been a busy time for the Lakewood Elks Veterans Committee, and it’s

only June 10th at the time this column is submitted for publication.

Colorado Elks Association (CEA) Veterans Committee Training Summit

On the weekend of Friday, June 1st through Sunday, June 3rd, the Aspen Elks Lodge host-

ed a training session put on by the CEA for Veterans Committees from lodges around the

state. Aspen was beautiful, as always, and the Lodge folks there were very hospitable.

Twenty-six lodges were represented, including three committee members from our Lake-

wood lodge. A representative of the Elks National Veterans Service Commission in Chi-

cago, Mary Morgan, was there to explain and discuss the various programs and initiatives

sponsored out of that office. Our own Carrie Mesch was among the invited speakers.

Discussions revolved around the more than 140 ways Lodges can support veterans and

military members in the community.

Root Beer Float, Barbeque and Sing-a-long Patio Party in Tribute To Lodge Mili-

tary Veterans

On Sunday, June 3, 2018 the Lakewood Elks Veterans Committee hosted the Lodge’s 5th annual (near) Memorial Day Root Beer

Float, Barbeque, and Sing-a-long Party as a tribute to all our Lakewood Elks Lodge military veterans. It is a time when they and their

guests enjoy Root Beer Floats, hamburgers or hot dogs (free for the veterans) and have a great time singing some favorite songs. It

was a fantastic day, with a large turn-out, and everyone enjoyed the event.

Thanks to the many Veterans Committee members who prepared and cooked the food, the Boutique Ladies who every year love mak-

ing the root beer floats, to Tom Yook for providing the music for the sing-a long, and to all the other volunteers who helped.

A huge ‘Thanks’ to all who attended. Thanks to our veterans for their service. God Bless Our Country, Our Veterans, And Our Free-

dom.

Additional Events Scheduled in June

Tuesday, June 12 – Members of the Vets Committee will visit the Lakewood Municipal Courts Veterans Program, meet with repre-

sentatives of the court, and will discuss the Street Packs for Veterans’ initiative.

ENF Celebrates Elks with Anniversary Grants

The Elks National Foundation launched the Community Investments Program in 2005 with a $350,000 budget. What began as a resource for Lodges to use in the ENF’s mission to build stronger communities has turned into a $12.4 million program that invests directly in Elks com-munities.

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Elks, the ENF wanted to offer something special, and for the first time since 2012, Lodges had access to a new, aptly named Anniversary Grant. More than 1,500 Lodges received the Anniversary Grant—that’s 82 percent of the Lodges!

Wallace, Idaho, Lodge No. 331, used their grant to create individualized care packages based on a wish list from veterans at a rehab center. These veterans asked for common items many people take for granted like socks and gloves.

“Our Lodge was very excited about this project because it was the first time in several years that we were able to give back to area veterans,” says Project Manager Greg Malone.

In keeping with the theme of 150, State College, Pa., Lodge No. 1600, used their Anniversary Grant to host a 1950’s “Sock Hop” in October, which is also Domestic Violence Awareness month. Attendees assem-bled 150 care kits for the Center County Women’s Resource Center.

“Elks care, Elks share,” shared project managers Brenda E. Kephart and Lynne Corl. “It was a great way to celebrate 150 years of Elks.”

Anniversary Grants will be returning in 2018-19 to jumpstart the next 150 years of service. All Lodges are eligible to apply again. Find more information about the grant online by visiting enf.elks.org/AnniversaryGrant.

CNW Annual Flag Day Ceremony

Beautiful Tribute to Our Flag

Evergreen Lodge hosted the Annual CNW Flag Day Ceremony at their Lodge June 10, 2018 emceed by ER Clayton Huffman. John Phillip's Souza Band supplied the rendition of music throughout the program. The Legion Post 2001 posted the flags and did an amazing POW/MIA Ceremony of the Vacant Table.

There were many speakers including a presentation of the Citizen Award to Mathew Barker, an Eagle Scott by Evergreen Lodge for his project of building Flag Boxes for people to deposit their flags they wish to retire. Sallie Houser-Hanfelder, Director of Eastern Colorado Health Care System invited all to attend the opening at the new VA Hospital on July 25th and visit the Spinal Cord Injury facility. Ribbon cutting will be July 21st at 10:00AM at Rocky Mountain Regional Med-ical Center.

As tradition each year the ER from the 10 Lodges in our district carry a flag to its' post as the History of the Flag is read. Our ER, Dan Hrouda carried the 48 Star Flag for Lakewood.

The ceremony was beautiful and the Field of Flags was very touching representing many of our deceased service men and women. It con-cluded with Gail Montgomery leading all in singing 'God Bless Ameri-ca'.

Many thanks to Evergreen Lodge for hosting and serving a delicious lunch – fantastic! Job well done.

Let's not forget the words that President Wilson said It is not a Re-dedication of National Sentiment. It is 'OUR FLAG, GLORY & HONOR OF THE UNITED STATES.'
