With the help of the great volunteers of our Lodge. We spent a couple of days doing some much needed repairs and cleaning. Thanks to Al Reigert, Ken Lommen, Lee Neeley, Don Earhart for all their help. The building has a brand new look. There is still some final touches to be completed. We have had many complements. Our Visit from Rich Evens & Lanny Schuultz with there wives went well. They were served 1437 burgers while the wives were treated to Mexican dinner. The PER Dollar an ounce steak feed was a great sucess. We served approximately 55 people some great New Yorks. Hopefully we plan to do it again. We welcomed 110 veterans with their wives to a spaghetti dinner with dessert provided by Marvin & Lynn VonFeldt.  This dinner is planned every year at this time.

In reading the history of the Elks I found some very interesting people were members Andy Deevine was a Exalted Ruler at a California Lodge.

I am planning another fun filled New Years Eve. Taco & Club Tacos continue to pay off for the covering of our Dining room Chairs, they are almost all covered. They look wonderful thanks to all who come in for tacos. We have new people working on team two. We welcome Richard & Gloria Johnson. The need for someone to help on team 3 is still needed. Brenda & Danny Creed and BJ & Bob Patterson will be leaving for the winter and many thanks to them and all there help.   December will be a busy month for the Lodge, Christmas Parties, Memorial Service, Santa Brunch and the big job of Christmas Boxes. We will be wrapping gifts on the 16th and putting the boxes together at 8:00 a.m. on the 17th.
