Greetings to all!

Greetings to all, and new members of Lincoln Lodge #80.

It has been a great adventure over the last Fraternal year. A lot of new members being brought in to the Lodge. Thanks to our great proposers that took the time to seek out and talk to new prospective members. For me, it is nice to know that you have shared experience with some one that you work with or interact with outside of the Lodge that you can bring in and help with volunteering with Lodge activities. Helping with the Vets and recognizing the younger generation is what it makes us great Americans, who love the flag and American principles for all peoples around the globe.

Thank you all who volunteered over the last year and officers and the bartenders who make Lincoln Lodge inviting to the members. To come over and have a refreshment and a Great Dinner. I want to recognize the new incoming officers for the new upcoming fraternal year. There are lot of chances to be involved and get active just ask one of your officers or trustees, and they can direct you to that Chairperson on what you can do...just ask.

In Nebraska, at the time of my writing, there is a snowstorm going on. It was 80 degrees yesterday, but now a full blizzard. We had to postpone our regular Lodge meeting to Thursday. Lincoln should get 2 to 7 inches of snow. But tomorrow it will probably all melt like it wasn't there. There is no State like Nebraska! When I was younger I moved to California for awhile stayed with some family in San Jose area for about a year. But moved back and moved to Lincoln where I have been ever since. We can complain about Nebraska, but people keep coming back. It really is a nice place to have a family and job where you can grow and prosper. Living expenses are low compared to some larger states. So become a member and explore our country, visit other Elks Lodges and see how they do things. There a lot of great Lodges in Nebraska, check them out! As always, have a great day, stay active, keep the EOG handy and just have fun!

Secretary

As we begin a new lodge year, I would like to ask your assistance in maintaining our address database, particularly for newsletter dissemination. We use a bulk mail permit to send the Elk-O-Gram. Because we receive a reduced postage rate, the Post Office will not forward your newsletter, and it automatically generates a notice of mail stoppage or no forwarding address to us at a cost of nearly a dollar each. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE – if you are leaving for an extended period of time, please let us know before you go. We can send to an alternate address; we can stop sending until you notify us of your return; or we can put you on our email list for a bright, shiny color PDF of the Elk-O-Gram (we can even send this along with the mailed version if you’d like!). Every dollar saved is a good thing!

Remember – April 1 is the beginning of our Lodge year. Avoid becoming a delinquent member by paying your dues BEFORE MAY 1! A big thank-you to those who have already remitted!

If you wish to pay your dues by credit or debit card, please use the secure website provided by Grand Lodge. This website is compliant with new federal regulations that require a higher level of security when transmitting credit card information. A bright yellow button now appears on our home page at elks80.org – it’s on the left-screen menu and is labeled PAY DUES ON-LINE and it will take you to the dues processing page. You’ll need to enter your membership number with a leading zero – then the rest is a snap!

As always, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need assistance with all things Elk. There is voicemail on the lodge phone, or you may contact me as below. See you at the Lodge!
