MESSAGE FROM THE EXALTED RULER

Where did May go? We had some very good events this past month. The Cinco de

Mayo party co-hosted by the Emblem Club, was well attended and enjoyed by all.

Thanks to all the volunteers, Elk and Emblem who helped cook,

decorate, serve, bar tend and clean up. Well Done! As I have

just returned from our Mother’s Day service and Brunch, I can

report that it was a huge success. Thank you to Tom Bizal, Rob

Tuttle, PER Troy Asher, Bill Wester, Leading Knight Chuck

Mitchell and our fantastic kitchen “Crew” who prepared

and served the food. I was certainly proud of our officers

who performed the Mother’s Day ceremony. This completed a wonderful weekend

for our Lodge. We had a great turn out at Friday night’s dinner aided in a big part by

Brother Vlaudy Moss and his party. Then on Saturday, Roseville had two foursomes

competing in a North Central District fund raiser golf tournament in support of Grant

Exalted Ruler Designate Tom Brazier. (The next big cheese) One of these foursomes

managed to end up in first place, thanks to George Miller, Rob Tuttle, Leading Knight

Chuck Mitchell, and the one-putt wonder known as me. Their shoulders and backs

ached from carrying me all day. We are also planning a Father’s Day brunch

following the required Flag Day Ceremony on June 17th

at 9:00 a.m. If you have not

seen our Flag Day Ceremony, it is quite interesting. If you have any grandchildren in

grade school, bring them down to the lodge for a less in American History.by the

tinme you read this, your officers will already attended the State Convention and I

will give the lodge a report at the first meeting this month. We will again be having

our “Sock Hop” this month. This has become a fun and light hearted journey back in

time. For some of you, the journey is a little longer. I want to say a big Thank You to

all who have attended the events and supported the lodge through the early part of this

year. You are the lifeblood of our Lodge and your volunteering will only make it

more fun. “Get Er Done and Have Fun”!

Fraternally,

Harry Hopton, Exalted Ruler

Found in the lodge: Woman’s bracelet – Call Elaine

Purcell at 916-644-3213.

Did you guess what this means?

JOLLY ’s

Did you know that before the Elks, there were 16 entertainers

known as the Jolly Corks. Charles A.S. Vivian was the Founder

of the Jolly Corks and B.P.O. Elks.

While Jolly corks meetings were held with regularity, apparently

no form nor substance resulted, except for the adoption of a toast

to members of the group not in attendance. This was the genesis

of the eleven o’clock toast.

Roseville Elks Lodge #2248 presented the ENF

Gratitude Grant ($2,000) to the Roseville Policy Activities

(RPAL) at their monthly board meeting. The RPAL seeks to

enrich the lives and develop the physical, mental and social

capabilities of Roseville Youth by fostering positive

relationships with law enforcement and the community

through a variety of recreational, athletic, and social,

education, and cultural activities.

RPAL activities include Cross Fit Kids, Mixed Martial Arts,

Arts & Crafts, Camping, Kayaking, Boxing, Open Gymnasium,

Tutoring, and Mentoring.

RPAL accepts children ages 8 years through 17 years that

reside or attend a school in the City of Roseville. (Which

includes children with special needs.)

There are a number of police officers and community

volunteers that volunteer their time for this program.

Volunteers are always welcome.

Our Tuesday Night Bingo was a Big Hit!

We had many of our members attending as well as people from

our neighborhood, now that the public is welcome. We had 27

people and 5 volunteers. Mel Rojko and Elaine Purcell sold the

tickets and handed out door prize tickets. Chuck Purcell called

the numbers and continued to tease and torment the players. Bill

Markham circulated, checking cards and numbers. Lorraine

McIntyre was in charge of the pull tabs.

Winners were: Cindy McKim, Laudy Moss, Nina Brasier, Betty

Grisso,Amber Ruen, Anita Eckert, and Abel Rios. Don Harris

won the Texas Blackout. A good time was had by all!

ANOTHER YOUNTVILLE SUCCESS!!

The Veteran’s Committee, Roseville Lodge #2248

sponsored a BBQ at the YOUNTVILLE VETERANS

HOME on April 25th. We adopted the Abraham Lincoln

Building which houses abut 100 veterans, men and women

and husbands and wives. We served cheeseburgers and

hot dogs with macaroni salad. About 65 veterans showed

up and enjoyed a FREE meal.

Without the participation of many people, we would not

have been able to have this wonderful outing for the Vets.

Volunteers were from both the Elks and Emblem: Bonnie

Buechner, Elaine Johnson, Bill markham, jDavid Sanford,

Harry Hopton, Ron Hall, Tom Bizal, Elaine Purcell, Chuck

Purcell, Dave Alstadt, George Ramos, Lou Simmons,

Doug Holmer, Mel Rojko, Dick Law, Gary Platz, and Rich

Casellini. Also, thanks to Violet Carter for the lap robes

she made for the Veterans.

The latest member to join the ENF Honorary Hall of Fame

is Roseville Lodge # 2248 member Jerry Faulkner. Jerry

reached a total of a $1,000.00 donation on March 15, 2012.

Presenting Jerry with his Certification and Pin are 2012-

2013 Elks ER Harry Hopton along with 2011-2012 ENF

Chair Rosie Dreiling. Thank you Jerry!!

EMBLEM CORNER………… Elli Platz

Just a note from the Emblem Club keeping you up to

date on our activities.

WOW!! What a great a Cinco de Mayo. This was the first dual

event for the year and what a way to start it off. There was a

great feel for the room thanks to Helen Bostick for her time and

effort in decorating and the great job she did on the raffle.

Congrats to Don and Suzy Stevenson for winning BOTH of the

raffle prizes, and they did it with ticket numbers 3505 and 3506.

What are the chances of that happening again?

In June, as well as our breakfast on the 3rd

, and taco night on

the 28th

, Emblem will be joining the Elks on Father’s Day for the

flag ceremony. This truly is a moving display of our flag. I

encourage you all to come and watch this event.

Emblem will be supporting the Elks in their Sock Hope on the

30th

.

Support your Elks and help them grow!
