Dear Elks and Does:
I trust that the holidays were inspiring to each of you and that the New Year brings renewed ambition, excitement and promises kept, to meet your commitments in accomplishing all your 2012 goals. The past year (2011) has been rewarding to all who took part in the many projects and activities LEL#80 is involved with. Take the time to revisit this past year’s issues of the EOG. You can also go on-line to www.elks80.org, click on Elk-O-Gram and Be Loud and Be Proud of what every one of you do to make our lodge special. This month’s issue is full of many articles and upcoming activities that prove, we at Lodge #80, are not sitting back and resting on last year’s accomplishments. I must take some time now to blow the bugle on a project that never ceases to amaze me. It is the Book Project. i.e. Dictionary and Thesaurus are companions when searching for the best words to express your thoughts clearly in speech and writing. Charles Meisinger, PER, wife Kathy and her sister Cynthia Tramel have teamed up annually to make this project as successful as any activities we do at LEL#80. The budgeting, ordering, labeling, scheduling and delivering to the parochial and public schools, is a time consuming undertaking. Charles, Kathy and Cynthia, with their devoted minions (Larry Bratt, Sam Carter Larry Schwindt, Bob Sindlar, Rich Todd and yours truly) helped to deliver a total of 3,126 books to 37 Lincoln public, 13 Lincoln parochial and the Norris elementary grade school over an 8 day period. The rewards are in the smiles, appreciations and the many Thank-You cards and notes received from the 3rd and 5th graders. I have read each and every one of the 474 children’s priceless written thoughts and hand drawn pictures received to date and I’m convinced that our grade school teachers are doing things right. A 3rd grade teacher from St. John’s writes: “Every year the kids get absolutely ‘GIDDY’ over those dictionaries! It always comes at a perfect time of the year – when we remember each other and spread a little joy”! The Norris Middle School principal, after meeting a 5th grade student in the hallway, shared the following: “Guess what all the 5th graders got? We each got a really cool book, a Thesaurus.” He just glowed sharing this news with me, she said. Many of the students were eager to share with their school principal the words they were ‘discovering’ and incorporating into their writings. She thanked the Elks for supporting their educational program. It is most appreciated. And yes, Charles, Kathy and Cynthia, you are truly examples that Believers are Achievers. Thank-You for all you do for LEL#80. You’re Awesome!
