BARRY MASTERS (PER) LOUIS WISE (PDD) Exalted Ruler’s Message Many thanks to all the volunteers who stepped up and made our New Years celebration one to be remembered. We had great food , fabulous entertainment and a good time was had by all. On February 14th we will have a Valentines Day party in the dining room. Tickets are on sale and are limited to 80 people. On February 28th we will be holding our annual 10K fundraiser for the Elks National Foundation. Please come out and support this very important event. The fund raising also continues through March 31st for the Harry Anna Trust Fund. This fund is the major source of revenue for our two major Florida State Elks projects. If we grow the fund we will also grow the Florida Elks Youth Camp and the Children's Therapy Services program. The long term goal for the Children's Therapy Services program is 50 vans. We currently have 23 vans so we have some work to do to reach that goal. After every lodge meeting we will have the Pie in the Eye challenge. Any lodge member can put a Pie in the Eye of the Exalted Ruler for a mere $10.00 donation. Keep those pies coming.Our House Committee has been meeting with some commercial plumbing contractors to assess our bathroom plumbing problems. It has been determined that the bathrooms next to the kitchen may have to be redone. Please be patient while we work through the process of addressing the situation. Exalted Ruler Randy Stay 2 Elk of the Month The Elk of the Month for February is Robbie McGee. Robbie can be seen volunteering on the weekends at the Tiki bar. Robbie purchases and smokes pork butts at no charge to the lodge. If you haven't had one of his pulled pork sandwiches you are missing out as they are delicious. Robbie Thank You for all you do for our lodge. Notice "A list of current candidates for membership is posted on the Lounge Bulletin Board. Members who wish to comment on a prospective candidate should contact a Lodge officer or send an email to [email protected]." 3 Eland bulletin – February 2015 I want to start with a big THANK YOU to all of the members who so generously donated items to our annual Garage Sale Fundraiser. You would think it’s hard to fill a 4,200 square foot room with items to sell, but we made it seem easy! We raised approximately $1,900, and the items that were left over were donated to AmVets, so that makes it a win -win-win for everyone! I also want to thank the Eland and Elk members who worked so hard collecting, storing, unloading, sorting, pricing, selling, and packing it all back up again! The Past Exalted Ruler’s Recognition Dinner will be on Saturday February 21st. Tickets are $12 each and available on Monday nights at Pasta/Trivia and Saturday afternoons at the Tiki bar. You can also call me to reserve tickets at 825-0710. We will be serving pizza, wings and sub sandwiches. This event is open to all members and we hope that you join us as we honor all of our Past Exalted Rulers for their service to Elkdom. The Nominating Committee for the 2015/2016 Officers has been formed, with Chairperson Janet Masters. Anyone interested in holding an officer spot in the Eland Club for 2015/2016 can contact Janet directly. Our February meeting is on Wednesday February 4th at 7:30 pm.

They have requested that we not send clothing, as they wish to purchase new clothing items for the less fortunate campers.

His wellrounded professional cooking experience has led to a number of expanded nightly dinner menus as well as outstanding meals for Lodge special events. Dan’s cheerful, “can-do” attitude is refreshing and has earned him respect and appreciation from Lodge staff and his customers. If you haven’t been to the Lodge for a while, stop by and enjoy some great food and fellowship. See this month’s calendar for menu and entertainment 7 highlights.
