Exalted Ruler’s Message – January 2022

December 31, 2021 By speters

Hello fellow Elks,

I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, so far. I hope your holiday gatherings were safe and filled with cheer and loved ones. As the year 2021 is behind us, I feel as though we have all been here before. Another year has passed and we are still dealing with the same crazy world around us. We had quite the crowd of loved ones and family in house for our Annual Memorial Service in December. The ceremony was very nice and the brunch afterwards was phenomenal. Thank you to Phil Romano for yet another amazing meal. Many thanks again to the AOL for another fun, well attended Christmas Gala. There were many great gifts given, and all had a very merry time. Additional thanks goes out to Alicia Romano for all of her hard work in putting together another fabulous Children’s Christmas party. All the hard work each and every one of you does, does not go unnoticed and the lodge is lucky and thankful to have you. Keep up the good work! As the New Year begins, this is the time of nominations for the upcoming class of Officers and Trustees. If you, or someone you know, would be a good fit for the job, please contact either the office, a PER, a trustee or officer. I know none of us are looking forward to the electronic raffle machines are being shut down for the time being. It’s unfortunate that all those charities will not be receiving any of our ‘donations’ for a while. As a reminder, there are still games on the Ohio Lottery machines, and of course, there are always pull tabs! We also have in store, some events coming up to help satisfy your gambling fix this Winter. I hope everybody has a great start to 2022 and all your dreams, aspirations and resolutions for the upcoming year come true. Let’s all hope that better things are ahead in 2022 for us all. I will see you in the lodge.

Fraternally Yours, Bill Medlen II ER

Hello fellow Elks,
I hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and you
all are enjoying the beginning of the holiday season.
It is officially the season of giving, and as Elks, we
always find the time to think about the less fortunate.
I appreciate all that the membership of this lodge
is capable of doing, and together, even small efforts
can make a large impact.
Thank you to all current and new members as
lodge attendance is up! It is great to see new and old
friends.
The Barnyard party was a huge success. It felt
like old times, seeing the lodge so full and merry. Thank you to all who
helped make it a fun event for everyone. Even the bowlers upstairs got
to participate – and I got enough steps in for a month! Speaking of
bowling, there is a missing blue bowling bag, containing a silver ball &
a white and gray pair of shoes, from the lodge lanes. For those of you
frequenting the alley, please be sure you did not accidentally mistake
your bag for this missing one. If you have any information of this bag’s
whereabouts, please see a bartender, trustee or officer. There are
posted pictures of the bag around the lodge, as well.
Thank you to all who joined us for the OSU game this past weekend.
Although the score was not in our favor, the Brad Smith Scholarship
Fund still benefited from all in attendance.
One of the lodge’s most heartfelt events is coming up very soon. On
Sunday, December 5th, we will be holding our annual Memorial Service
to honor the lives of our lost members. Following the service, those in
attendance will be invited to enjoy breakfast. The great heart of Elkdom
swells and throbs for our absent members and their loved ones.
As 2021 comes to a close, I can only hope better things are on the
horizon for us all and this crazy world we live in. I hope all of you have
a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year, may all of your
stockings be hung with care, come on up to the Lodge and I’ll see you
there.

Fraternally Yours, Bill Medlen II ER
