Welcome to our July/August issue of the Elk-O-Gram! This combined issue gives our Editor Mary Ryan and myself, as well as our committee chairs a well-deserved break.

A reminder – lodge meetings will only occur on the third Wednesday in July and August – be sure to mark that on your calendar.

This issue contains a listing of members who have not yet paid their current year’s dues. We share this so that you might extend the fraternal hand of friendship and invite them to continue their membership. Support of the lodge means a continuation of all the charitable works for youth and veterans that we do in Lincoln, credit for which accrues to every member of the lodge regardless of participation in the work itself. That is not to say that we don’t need and want your help! The lodge runs almost exclusively on volunteer power, and we always need our members to step up if they are inclined to do so.

You can access our calendar on your computer or cell phone by accessing the webpage below.


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!

Fellow Elks,

If you're like me, you've been dodging storms to get your mowing in because the grass is growing so quickly from all the rain. Like our lawns, our Lodge membership numbers need to be fed in order to grow. We have so many activities that are great for inviting friends and neighbors along to get a feel for what we're all about, and chief among them are our monthly dinners! Bringing along your friends and family is the first step in helping people experience the Lodge. Other upcoming activities include the re-scheduled Soccer Shoot in August (coincidentally, the original date of June 7th was rained out), Beer and Burger Nights, feeding kids at Belmont Community Center and helping at the Veteran's Pantry at Vic tory Park. Don't forget Karaoke too. Many of us joined the Elks after being invited by someone to these events. Check the calendars for July and August in this month's issue for dates and times for activities!
