ALL AMERICAN LODGE 2003,04,08,09,10,11,12,13 BPO ELKS 2399 WAPITI WIND November, 2014 EXALTED RULER’S MESSAGE: Temperatures, which are cool for full time residents, are warm for our winter visitors. Our reference point for cold or hot, is entirely different for those from around anyplace in the U.S. or Canada. That is evident in the at- tire visitors wear when they are here. Some of us who are “Native-ized” by virtue of living here for long periods of time, get cold in the fall. I still re- member, however, coming from Minnesota in 2002, how warm the 50’s feel when you are acclimated to below zero weather in the Midwest. This was just an observation from an ER who loves it here. Being an Elk is a prideful duty for all of us. Our Grand Exalted Ruler John Amen expresses it best by saying, “Elevate America” by the things we do so well. He also says to ‘be proud’ of our accomplishments, as we should be. You belong to the greatest non-profit organization in the USA and the most helpful to our youth with our Youth Activities programs, (of which we are very active in), like Soccer Shoot, Hoop Shoot, Drug Awareness, Junior Golf and many activities our Chairman H. R. Radtke has brought to the table to make our youth direct their energy the USA way. Always keep in mind that we are ‘distinctively American’, and that is also why we are so proud to help our veterans in many ways. We will never forget them. NEVER. Youth however, is who will guide this country in the future, and we must do our job to teach them that we care so much, we have developed the Elks National Foundation (ENF) which provides more money for Scholarships than any enti- ty, other than the US Government. I have a goal in telling all of you this. The Lake Havasu City Lodge #2399 has achieved the All American Lodge Award 8 times in the past 11 years. Only 6 are given to lodg- es each year by the Grand Lodge. That is SIX for the whole USA in a given year. We have earned that distinction by working hard and meeting the criteria set down by the Grand Lodge for the year. We can’t do this without the cooperation of the members, and we thank all of you very much for your support and help. One of the things we must meet is an amount donated by each member to ENF. When our new members join us, we donate $10 in their name to ENF to start them off. If eve- ry member donated just $10 once a year to ENF through our office, I believe we can capture that prestigious award again. By the way, you are not limited to $10. Any amount will help the noble work to which this order is known for. The great thing about ENF is that it is an endowment fund. Only the interest is used to provide scholarships and grants. Thus the slogan Elks Care, Elks Share comes into play. Be sure to check the calendar for events this November. A very fun night is CASINO NIGHT where you can play your favorite games and win prizes.

WAPITI WIND November, 2014

EXALTED RULER’S MESSAGE: Temperatures, which are cool for full time residents, are warm for our winter visitors. Our reference point for cold or hot, is entirely different for those from around anyplace in

the U.S. or Canada. That is evident in the at-tire visitors wear when they are here. Some of us who are “Native-ized” by virtue of living

here for long periods of time, get cold in the fall. I still re-member, however, coming from Minnesota in 2002, how warm the 50’s feel when you are acclimated to below zero weather in the Midwest. This was just an observation from

an ER who loves it here. Being an Elk is a prideful duty for all of us. Our Grand

Exalted Ruler John Amen expresses it best by saying, “Elevate America” by the things we do so well. He also says to ‘be proud’ of our accomplishments, as we should be. You belong to the greatest non-profit organization in the USA and the most helpful to our youth with our Youth Activities programs, (of which we are very active in), like Soccer

Shoot, Hoop Shoot, Drug Awareness, Junior Golf and many activities our Chairman H. R. Radtke has brought to the table to make our youth direct their energy the USA way. Always keep in mind that we are ‘distinctively American’, and that is also why we are so proud to help our veterans in many ways. We will never forget them. NEVER. Youth however, is who will guide this country in the future,

and we must do our job to teach them that we care so much, we have developed the Elks National Foundation (ENF)

which provides more money for Scholarships than any enti-ty, other than the US Government. I have a goal in telling all of you this. The Lake Havasu

City Lodge #2399 has achieved the All American Lodge Award 8 times in the past 11 years. Only 6 are given to lodg-es each year by the Grand Lodge. That is SIX for the whole USA in a given year. We have earned that distinction by working hard and meeting the criteria set down by the Grand Lodge for the year. We can’t do this without the cooperation of the members, and we thank all of you very much for your support and

help. One of the things we must meet is an amount donated by each member to ENF. When our new members join us, we donate $10 in their name to ENF to start them off. If eve-

ry member donated just $10 once a year to ENF through

our office, I believe we can capture that prestigious award

again. By the way, you are not limited to $10. Any amount will help the noble work to which this order is known for. The great thing about ENF is that it is an endowment fund. Only the interest is used to provide scholarships and grants. Thus the slogan Elks Care, Elks Share comes into play. Be sure to check the calendar for events this November. A very fun night is CASINO NIGHT where you can play your favorite games and win prizes. It is always well attend-

ed with many Elks working the tables and games.

THANK YOU To all who have contributed to the Moving Forward board. We have

now collected over $32,000.00 to-ward paying down the mortgage on the lot. To join that elite group who already have their names on the board you have to merely donate at least $50.00. Hurry, don’t be left out!

Lap Quilts For Veterans Lap quilts should be approximate-

ly 40 by 35 inches in length and width. These quilts must be free of contaminates (such as: smoke, chem-icals, dog or cat hair, etc.) The hospi-tal has fairly stringent rules and may reject any quilts that do not fit the aforementioned criteria as they could

jeopardize the health of the patients.

Thank you for helping to make sure the quilts are safe and healthy for our veterans.

Please make sure the quilts are delivered to the Elks Office no later than Friday, November 28, 2014. Bud Watts Lodge Veterans Committee Chairman Bud Watts

Christmas Baskets Food Basket containers are conven-

iently located in both lodge entrances. Your help in contributing to this annual lodge event is solicited. Open your hearts and wallets to assist those down on their luck and help make Christmas a joy able occasion for them. Non-perishable food items are need-

ed to supplement the perishable food items provided by the lodge. Please, items with expiration dates or opened containers cannot be accepted. The lodge annually delivers more than 30 baskets to Havasu needy. These baskets provide each family with all the

“fixins” for a traditional Christmas din-ner, enough food for several extra meals and a new toy for each child. There will be a sign-up sheet in the office for those of you who wish to take

part in this heart-warming experience. With your help this year will be a hap-py Christmas for several needy Havasu

families. Delivery of the baskets will be on Saturday December 20th. You can reach me by phone 928-453-0370, or [email protected] Ed Wdowiak Lodge Trustee and Food Basket Chairman

Elkette Message:

Let me start out by saying Thank You to Gloria Flint, the Elks and Elkettes who helped to put together a marvelous Fashion Show and luncheon, and to the

PER’s who served 155 lunches. The guest were entertained by Grace Arts stage play “In the Woods”, and all the amazing styles worn by our Elkette

models. There were so many great gifts that were raffled off, and some were lucky to have won two raffle prizes. Thank you to all those who donated gift baskets and cro-

chet blankets for the raffles, your kindness never wavers. Once again to the committee who worked so hard on the Fashion Show, great job! Be sure to mark your calendars for the Craft Fair and Bake Sale, November 15 and so far it appears Jan Przysiecki has sold all the vendor booths. Don’t miss out buying some of your Christmas gifts early! The doors will

open at 8:00 a.m. and will close at 3:00 p.m. We’ll be col-lecting your bake goods Saturday morning at 7:00 if you’re inclined to help support the bake sale. Christmas Food Baskets, the barrels have been placed in both lodge entrances for your convenience. When dropping

off your food items Ed Wdowiak-Lodge Trustee and Food Basket Chair has asked that you remember to look closely to the expiration dates, as he will not be able to use items

that are expired. Also Rosalie Smith will be collecting Christmas gifts for the boys and girls at the Elkette meet-ings. Be sure to mark gender and age on the outside of the gift and be sure to get your raffle ticket for the drawing at our December Elkette meeting. The Kids Turn to Shop is scheduled for December 6 and Jane Sahno has started collecting NEW and LIKE NEW items for the kids shopping experience. You can

bring them to the meetings or call Jane at 928-680-6641 to get your donated items to her. The Christmas holidays are sneaking up on us fast. The

board and I, have started planning the Elkettes Christmas dinner/

dance for December 13th. Keep a look out for the flyers posted in

the lodge and through your emails for all the information and get your tickets early for there will be a cutoff date. I will make sure

you have ample time and information to purchase your tickets.

Next Elkette meeting will be November 11th, at 7pm. I look

forward to seeing most of our Elkettes back in town and active

once again with our fall and winter events.

Thank you, Kay Wdowiak, Elkette President

Do You Remember Continued “I will not, directly or indirectly, use my membership in this Order, nor any emblem or insignia thereof for business or commercial purpose.

I will never introduce into the Order anything of a political or sectarian character,

nor in anyway by conduct bring reproach upon it.

I will always protect a member, their good name and their families and I will always respect and defend the purity and sanctity of their home and fireside..

If I break this Obligation, may I wander through the world forsaken; may I be point-

ed out as a being bereft of decency, unfit to hold communion with true and upright

members. And may god help me and keep me steadfast in this my solemn

and binding Obligation in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.”

LODGE CLUB NEWS

Elks Vagabonds RV Club Hi everyone, Our calendar is beginning to fill up for the upcom-

ing camping season. Our Wagon Mas-ter, Don Underwood is planning a local campout at Campbell Ranch in Novem-ber. Dates are still being worked out, but this will be a dry camping weekend that

will include a Festive Turkey Dinner. The club will supply the turkeys and everyone in attendance is asked to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert.

December 10th will be our annual Christmas Din-ner at the Lodge. If you have attended a campout during this year, you will be entitled to one free rib dinner. There will be no formal meeting….just come to socialize and wear your favorite holiday outfit. Of course, January will be our trek to Quartzsite during the RV Big Tent week. More information on

this outing as we get closer. Also in the works is a trip to Death Valley in No-vember 2015. We have done this outing in the past and had a wonderful time exploring the treasures of Death Valley. I hope many of you will join us on this great experience. We welcomed seven new members to our club

during the October meeting: Dan & Sandie Craven, Tom & Kay Depner, Don & Desmarerz & Cindy Murray, Bill & Katie Fitzgerald, Marty & Nina Gregerson, Billie Hatfield, , and Glen & Gail Stroh. We are pleased that you have joined the Vagabonds. Don Underwood, Floyd Davis, Bill Graham and I wish you all a wonderful Happy Thanksgiving. We look forward to seeing you all at our November 12th

mtg.

Pauline Thonnard, Vagabond Secretary.

YACHT CLUB NEWS: Happy Thanksgiving to all and a welcome back to all. We had our charity Poker Run for H.A.V.E.N. and Hospice.

This was a successful event. Perfect weather, great turnout and lots of fried chicken made eve-ryone happy. Thanks to the members for all the support and volunteers for all the hard work. Octoberfest was held at the lodge. There was a packed house as always. Brats, Beer, and music

by Fritz. Great crew cooking, serving and cleaning up. Thank you all.

Pig in the Ground Burn and Pig Party always over the top. RV lot was full and bonfire was beautiful. All eats the next day…...yummy. Who didn’t have a great time? Don’t forget your monthly Yacht club meeting on Novem-ber 15th at 2:00PM. Get there early for seating and hot dogs. The membership draw is up there..$? You will need your membership card with you in order to win.

Commodore Sandy will keep the email updates going out. Stay tuned in! Linda Wick. Questions or problems call Yacht Club Commodore Sandy Bigham @ 928-453-6701

Do You Remember? “I will support the constitution, and obey the Statutes, rules

and regulations of the Order, and the By-Laws of Lake

Havasu Lodge #2399 and those of any other Lodge of which

I may hereafter become a member.

I will uphold the constitution and laws of the United States

of America.

I will propose no one for membership in this Order whom I

do not sincerely believe to be worthy thereof.

I will ballot for a worthy candidate and against an unworthy

candidate when proposed by another. I will not permit any political, sectarian or personal preju-

dice to influence me in the slightest degree in the exercise of

my right of franchise in the Order.

I will obey any lawful summons sent me by any competent

authority of the Order.

I will never apply to the courts for redress in any matters

concerning the Order without first appealing to the councils

of the Order.

I will never reveal to anyone, not an Elk, the name of a

member asking or receiving aid or relief from the Order.”

Make your Monday night fun and fulfilling!

Plan on visiting the lodge and enjoy your favor-ite libation, pamper yourself to a fantastic Italian fare of either spaghetti and meat balls or lasagna with a complimentary large salad and garlic bread, while cheering for your favorite football team on large screen TVs. Join the crowd and hunt for the Queen of

Hearts with a chance of winning big bucks. At this writing the Queen of Hearts game is ap-proaching $2,000.00, a nice Christmas present for sure. Then you can stay and make the evening complete by joining Julie Cameron and her country dancers as they line up for the popular

line dancing. Each Monday Julie comes up with some refreshing innovation for the evenings entertainment.

Lodge Country Dance Club donated $300.00 to the Lake Havasu Community Health Foundation.
