WAPITI WIND October, 2015
EXALTED RULER’S MESSAGE:
This month marks my half-way point in my term as your Exalted Ruler. Many people ask me how I am doing and my answer is always: I’m still
smiling. Admittedly there have been a few surprises – some good, some not so
good – but all in all, I like the job. . Those of you returning from your summer sojourn will notice some improvements in the Lodge. During our annual down time we replaced the carpeting along the front wall in the bar area. We also added some TVs at the bar – thanks to
the Elkettes. The Lodge room has been retiled and new stripping has been placed along the edge of the carpeting and wood floor. Those of you coming to the Lodge for dining and dancing will notice the chairs offer a new level of com-fort. They have all been replaced. We now have uniformity and better, thicker cushions to make you more comfortable. Thanks to a generous donation, again from the Elkettes,
we have been working to upgrade our sound system. It is still a work in progress, but you will now be able to hear an-nouncements throughout the Lodge.
Also, we now have lapel microphones for our Lodge meet-ings. For people like me who are hard of hearing, or whose voice doesn’t carry, this is wonderful.
As more of you return I must ask that you be mindful of the way you park in our lot. I know we are woefully lacking in handicapped parking, but please do not park in the striped areas. Those areas designated emergency exits and cannot be blocked. Also, the striped areas between the spaces pro-vide ease for those who have problems getting out of cars, or those who use wheelchairs or walkers. You will notice a box in the foyer when you come to the
Lodge. As part of our continuing effort to support Major Projects, we are once again collecting children’s books to be sent to Diamond Children’s Hospital at the Steele Children’s Research Center. The Elks have supported Steele for many years, both financially and with needed items like blankets, knitted hats, etc. They are very appreciative of our efforts and as a result of our donations, the continued research they
conduct gives children a new lease on life. Please be sup-portive.

ARIZONA ELKS MAJOR PROJECT NEWS The “Name The Yellow Fellow” contest is off and running. Early returns are
in for the name and the contest will culminate with the ER March at the Mid-Year Convention. You can send your donation in support of your favorite name to AEMP, make the name of your choice on the envelope. The profits from this contest will be used for The Elks AEMP Major pro-jects. All tax deductible donations can be sent direct to the AEMP office at PO Box 12668 Tucson, AZ 85732. Please include your Lodge Number so your Lodge gets credit toward the awards programs.
By the way, it is not too late to get your tickets on the Mid-Year Raffle. That great Polaris Ranger, complete with trailer is going to some lucky individual at the Mid-Year Convention. Tickets $5 each or 3 for $10.
A REWARDING EXPERIENCE Lodge member Robert Watts was afforded a
once in a life time adventure. On September 3, 2015 a re-enactment of the signing of the peace treaty with Japan was held on the old Battleship Missouri, now serving as a museum in Hawaii. The original treaty was signed on the same Mis-souri on September 3, 1945 and the signing of this truce brought an end to the bloody war in the Pa-
cific that took so many lives of young Americans and men of other nations. Robert was among those who observed this momentous occasion. The ranks of those serving in the military during that period in our history are rapidly being diminished so to be physically able to attend such a function is remark-able.
Robert had a copy of his original navy uniform tailored especially for this occasion and was af-forded the honor of being recognized during the ceremony by an honor guard and special reserved seating. Congratulations Robert and thanks for
your service.

to previous levels.
The parade will be held October 31, 2015 and
the deadline for application registration is Octo-
ber 5, 2015.
Lodge Officers, PERs, Youth Activity, Drug
Awareness, Yacht Club and other lodge organi-
zations are encouraged to show that

ELKETTE MESSAGE: Have you bought your tickets for the Fashion Show? It is just around the corner
on October 10, 2015 @ 11:00AM. Vickie Roberts has put her heart and soul into making this the event of the fall. You defi-nitely do not want to miss this super event. The next Saturday, October 17, 2015 is the Breast Cancer Walk. Last year we
walked in our Elk shirts and we would like to do it again. The Rally begins at 7:30AM and it would be great if a
large number of Elkettes participated wearing their Elkette shirts. Jim Travis is again chairing a coat drive. There will be a drop-off box for the coats and other warm attire that Jim will deliver to those in need. Rosalie Smith will again be collecting toys for the Christmas food baskets at the next three (3) meetings.
Wrap your toy and label it boy or girl and age. A ticket will be awarded for each gift donated to be used for 2 $25.00 drawings to be held during the December meeting.
Our annual See’s Candy sale will be held towards the end of November, so think about the days you would be able to sit in the lobby and sell, sell, sell! Teresa
Bremenour will have sign up sheets at the next meeting. Jan Prysiecki is chairing the Craft Fair this year and she has it well in hand. Volunteers for the kitchen will be re-quested during the October meeting. If you can’t make the meeting but would like to help please give me a call. Please get your new or slightly used items for our annu-al “Kids Turn To Shop” event in December. If it isn’t ap-propriated for the “Kids Turn To shop” it will be used dur-
ing the rummage sale in January. I will continue to ask for donations until December. Eddye Glenn and Terri Vodry are chairing the “Kids turn To Shop” and would appreciate all the help and suggestions you can give them. As you can see we are into our busy season and all help will be greatly appreciated plus the satisfaction you get out of volunteering for these worthy causes.
Deborah Haines Elkette President.
ELKETTES TURNOUT BIG TIME FOR LODGE CLEANUP
Some of the many Elkette volun-
teers who turned out for the annual
cleanup.
One of the most disgusting cleanup
chores was removing gum from
under the tables. Please refrain
from indulging in this gross action
and dispose of the gum in a sani-tary manner.

YACHT CLUB NEWS: As summer comes to an end we still enjoy the lake and boating up into October. Our winter visitors and locals are
returning to fill the Lodge and our events. Our charity Poker Run in September was a beautiful day and attendance was good. Lunch was served with the purchase of a poker hand and the lucky winners will be announced at the next meeting on October 17th. The Oktoberfest Committee is in full swing and we should have a packed lodge for the event. Brats, beer and
polka music will make for a festive
occasion. The “Pig in the Ground” is coming soon as is the Commodores Ball.
