Please add your support of this activities as we continue to follow our mission which is to serve our communities.
I’m pleased to announce the following Elk of the Month for June which is Libby Dohm. Libby has done a great job holding new events and planning upcoming events for our lodge.
Our Elk of the Month for July is Steve Williams. Steve has been active in keeping us up to date on our Camp Barrett state project. He has been attending various meetings at the Camp and at our workshops.
I have included a tax deductible donation for the Elk's National Foundation in the amount of $___________ and/or donation for our lodge building improvement fund in the amount of $___________
Summer is upon us and the patio furniture has been set out for our enjoyment. It is very pleasant out there in the afternoon and evening, so visit your Lodge for a beverage and/or a meal with friends on the “veranda”.
The House Committee has been working to create new especially themed Friday nights. Check the calendar for the dates and come out and enjoy them. The events are also addressed by way of e-mail and Facebook. If you don’t receive the e-mail “blasts” please get me your e-mail address and I will ensure that you’re added to the list, so you don’t miss any of the fun.
As of this writing, we still have 100 members that are late in paying their dues. Please, if you know any of these folks; ask them to rejoin us for the fun, camaraderie & charitable endeavors. If your dues are not paid, you’re
not entitled to use the Lodge.
Any widows wishing to have an ID card and a key card, please drop me a note (either by mail or in the mail slot in my door) requesting them and accompany the request with a $5.00 payment along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. I will process the card and either mail it to you or leave it behind the bar (stamped envelope not required if this option is selected).
Until next time, enjoy your summer and come by your Lodge for a cool beverage and some fun.
Fraternally,Lou Schmeltzer, PDD

Secretary’s Corner June 2015
Same old tune, just wrapped up in a Different Issue of the “Horn”. As of this writing we still have 149 members who have not paid their 2015/2016 DUES, which were due and payable in advance of April 1, 2012. This is quite a shock to our financial status, as your dues are an important part of our lodge budget, and at this time unpaid dues is taking the sum of $17,731.00 out of our expected (ouch!) income. I will keep the message short and once again request that if you are on our DELINQUENT LIST, Please send you dues in A.S.A.P. so we can bring our list down to ZERO. I will be sending reminder notices to all members on our current delinquent list & should anyone receive a delinquent notice, and our correspondence has crossed in the mails, or if there is a problem with my records, please call me at 410-573- 0201, Ext 12 so we can resolve any problems to everyone’s satisfaction. Once again, thanks for your understanding, as keeping up with some 892 plus members, can at times tax an old mans brain, and in my case there is not a whole lot of room for taxation. Just a friendly reminder that dues, including Grand Lodge & State Assn. Fees total $119.00 for regular Members, and $69.00 for those who have been elected to Life Membership. Sincerely & Fraternally, Earl W. Schellman, PDD/PSP/PGLC, Secretary
