EXALTED RULER’S MESSAGE
Dear Brother and Sister Elk:
As this year’s Holiday season quickly approaches, I wish all
of you, and your families, a most Joyous Christmas, and a
Safe and Productive New Year. I hope you will be with friends
and family celebrating the holidays? But, at this time of the
year, I also hope we can all remember those who are less
fortunate in our community, - those among us who may need
our help and support. We should do what we can as Elks,
and always practice Charity and Brotherly Love.
I sincerely thank everyone for their continued support of our
lodge, as without your support we would cease to exist.
Without a strong membership, we could not support all of our
Youth, Scholarship, and Veterans’ Programs.
Be proud to be an Elk! I urge all of you to spread the word
that we are a Charitable Organization, and not just a lounge or social club.
Be safe, - Be happy, and - Be Joyous this holiday season.
Fraternally, Thomas R. O’Brien
YOU SPOKE and WE LISTENED
We Have a “New & Improved”
MONDAY NITE SPECIAL DINING MENU
We have revised our “Monday Nite Special Dining Menu,” and
it now includes some “Healthier Menu Choices” such as Salads. Additionally, we have added some “Heartier” Comfort Food Items for the Chilly Winter Months.
Our members spoke, and we listened! We even changed our serving hours so those members who need to get home a little earlier during the Winter months, when it gets dark earlier, can
now do so.
Be sure to stop by Your Lodge and check out the new menu which will be served every Monday Nite starting December 1,
2014, now from 4:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Our Menu is served
in a Clean, Friendly atmosphere. Enjoy!

Dear Ladies,
November and December are months
that remind me of the commitment for
which our organization stands, and the
dedication of its members. We have lost
a few members this past year, and our
active members have always been
there to fill the void. I am asking our inactive members
for any assistance they may be able to provide us
throughout our busy holiday season. Please contact
me at (910) 755-5666 if you can assist your sister
members of the Auxiliary. Your help will be greatly
appreciated.
November was another busy month with the huge
collection of socks and coats we provided for “Comfort
Socks” and to our local churches. Thank you ladies!
Our community will be a bit warmer thanks to your
generosity. On November 11th, we assisted another
Veteran with a generous donation to assist him in his
hardship. This generosity was partnered with a
donation from our Veteran’s Affairs Committee (VAC),
which will provide heat and electricity throughout the
winter months. Thank you to the VAC for your
generous donation.
December is always a busy month with our Annual
Christmas Holiday Fair scheduled for December 6,
2014 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Elks Lodge.
Local crafters and vendors will provide wonderful
Christmas gifts, while the Ladies Auxiliary will provide
homemade soups, cookies, and pastries. Our “White
Elephant” table provides a little something for
everyone at a great price, always negotiable. (See our
Event Flyer)
On December 11th, the ladies will host a Christmas
party for Shallotte Assisted Living. We will be providing
gifts to be given out by Santa, - of course! We will also
have refreshments and be Christmas Caroling.
The holidays are brighter because of the generosity of
our members who give their time, dedication, and
commitment.
Our members work hard and need your support. We
will be holding nominations for the Executive Board in
January 2015. Please consider volunteering for a
position on the board. Your leadership is vital in
continuing our mission. You make a difference in the
lives of so many.
Fondly,
Peggy Haughey
President of the Ladies Auxiliary
Ladies Auxiliary of the Calabash Elks
On Tuesday afternoon,
December 16, 2014, our Lodge’s
Youth Activities Committee will
be partnering with the South

Christmas party at the
Waccamaw School in Ash, NC.
In combination, we will be
hosting 40 children and their
families for dinner, games, presents, and a surprise
visit from the Jolly Old Elf himself! (AKA Lodge
Trustee, Joe Adams)
Volunteers are needed to help decorate the school
cafeteria on that date. If you are interested please
contact Juanita Adams, Youth Activities Chairperson,
at 910-579-5248 for the time and directions.

The North Carolina State Elks Association’s (NCSEA) Fall Convention was held at the High Point
Plaza Hotel-Conference Center on October 24-26, 2014 in High Point, NC. For those officers
and/or members from our Calabash lodge who may have attended a state convention in the past,
you understand the complexity, protocol, tradition, and conduct of business affairs which occurs
at a convention, but – for those of you who may not have ever attended a convention, I am taking
the time here to recap the event. Attendees obtain many benefits, as they learn how the State
Association can help local lodges comply with Grand Lodge requirements, and learn how the
Association can help them with their local efforts.
We were very honored to have our Grand Exalted Ruler (GER) John D. Amen and wife Marcia attend. Also
attending was our State Sponsor, Arthur “Jack” Frost and his wife Sharon, along with the Special Deputy Grand
Exalted Ruler John Boyd and his wife Ann, and our Grand Lodge Committeeman Ashley Buckwell and Linda
Whisnant.
Our team of State Representatives met the GER and his wife Marcia at the Airport in Greensboro, NC on Thursday
October 23rd. We were fortunate to have one of our members donate his services, and were able to have them
driven by limousine to the hotel in High Point. Later that evening, Vickie and I were able to entertain
approximately 40 invited Elks in our suite at the State Presidents social where the GER and wife were the
honored guest. This was followed by a VIP dinner that evening at the hotel.
We opened the convention on Friday, October 24th with a VIP breakfast and meetings of the State Charitable
Trust, followed by the Past State Presidents Advisory Board meeting, and the NCSEA Trustee meeting. Much
state business was handled at these morning meetings, followed by yet more meetings in the afternoon. While
these business meetings were being conducted, our State First Lady, Vickie Acton, escorted the VIP Ladies to
the Childress Winery for a tour and lunch. Our day ended with an Advisory Board Social followed by the Advisory
Board Dinner.
We opened on Saturday with an early breakfast, followed by the NCSEA Fall Business session, the agenda of
which featured two guest speakers. First, Mr. Britt Moore, a High Point City Councilman and current Elk member,
welcomed our organization to the city. Secondly, a young lady named Jordan Sims, a camper from Camp
Carefree, one of our state’s major projects. Jordan suffers from Spina Bifida, and is only able to walk with
crutches. Both speakers were very motivational. Our state officers and 27 state committee chairmen provided
reports. Our GER, John Amen provided some very motivational remarks. The morning session was adjourned
with an inspirational memorial service conducted by Salisbury Lodge #699. A luncheon, yet more business
meetings, dinner and dancing completed the second day of our convention.
We opened on Sunday with a Past Exalted Ruler (PER) guest breakfast. The PERs held their meeting while I
reconvened the NCSEA meeting. At the conclusion, gifts were presented to the GER and his wife Marcia, who
gave farewell remarks before the convention was adjourned.
As you can see, your state President and First Lady were kept busy preparing, hosting events, and taking care
of business, but - we had an outstanding time, and are proud you have given us this opportunity. Please make
plans to join us at the Spring Convention to be held next May 1-3, 2015 in Wilmington, NC.
Fraternally,
Fraternally,

“ELKS LODGE PARTNERS WITH TOWN & MERCHANTS FOR SAFE HALLOWEEN”
“Trunk-or-Treat” Event in Town Park Benefits Local Children On Friday evening October 31, 2014, in lieu of hosting their own traditional Halloween Party for local children, the Youth Activities Committee of the Calabash Elks Lodge partnered with the Town of Calabash and the local Merchants Association for a coordinated night of safe Halloween activities for the community’s children. The supervised event was held in the Calabash Town Park. Planned activities included a Movie and a Costume Contest. The Children, in costume, paraded around the park before parked cars, - their “Trunks” laden with Sweet Treats; Hence, the moniker “Trunk-or-Treat!” Juanita Adams, Chair of the lodge’s Youth Activities Committee, was instrumental in having the Elks participate in the event which also contributed to the event’s success. Bulk bags of candy were donated by lodge members during the entire month of October, and then – Ms. Adams sorted all the donations, preparing 200 amply-filled individual bags of diversified “Treats” handed out to the children on the night of the event. She also crafted the decorations. “Big Kid” Elks were present to personally hand out the Goodies and help judge the costumes. A Fun, and especially a Safe evening, was had by all, - Small Kids and Big Kids alike! The Calabash Elks Lodge, 2679, located at 937 Carter Drive, in Calabash, North Carolina, has been a local landmark of the area since 1984. With nearly 800 members, the lodge has become a cornerstone of the local community for the past 30 years.
