First, I would like to thank everyone who came out for the N.E. District golf outing and meetings. Kudos to Karen Kupchik, Tammy Schervish, Past D.A.C. Dianne Good and the committee who put on a great weekend of events. On Friday, we welcomed members from other lodges, in-cluding our Ohio Elks Associa-tion State Officers, who came to our Lodge and enjoyed our Parma hospitality. We had a great time at the golf outing Sat-urday , with and dinner and dancing afterwards at our lodge. Sunday, the Dochertys cooked a delicious breakfast and lunch. Thank you Doc and Lisa. Everyone that came out on June 11th to the Night at the races had a blast. Thanks to Trish for putting 50 baskets to-gether for the raffles as well as to the Committee for their dedica-tion to making this event a suc-cess. Flag Day was June 14th and we had our special Elk cere-mony to honor our flag. We ap-preciate our Boy Scout Troop #24 that did the flag retirement and the members, guests, and Officers that came out for this special day.
June 25th was our Lodge golf outing. Kathee Mat-tern and her crew did a terrific job – thanks to all who helped or participated. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Volunteers - where would we be if we didn’t have them? As we look around our Lodge, inside and out, we see the beautiful flowers, a new guard rail, the grass cut, kitchen scrubbed, organized and cleaned. Storage rooms and office organized.

Variously known as the Fourth of July and
Independence Day, July 4th has been a
federal holiday in the United States since
1941, but the tradition of Independence
Day celebrations goes back to the 18th
century and the American Revolution
(1775-83). In June 1776, representatives
of the 13 colonies, then fighting in the
revolutionary struggle, weighed a resolu-
tion that would declare their independence
from Great Britain. On July 2nd, the Conti-
nental Congress voted in favor of inde-
pendence, and two days later its delegates
adopted the Declaration of Independence,
a historic document drafted by Thomas
Jefferson. From 1776 until the present
day, July 4th has been celebrated as the
birth of American independence, with typi-
cal festivities ranging from fireworks, pa-
rades and concerts to more casual family
gatherings and barbecues.
Happy 4th of July!

Please remember that there will be no bingo in July or August. We will resume in September. Speaking of bingo, we have noticed quite an increase in attendance as word of our monthly bingos continues to spread. We are in need of more volunteers to assist with the bingos! The more volunteers, the better! You don’t need to sign up—just show up! Again, our Annual Veteran’s BBQ will be held on August 6th from 2 p.m.-6 p.m. at Broadview Multi-Care. We are in need of bakers to bake for the day of the event, as well as volunteers and monetary donations. The do-nations will help offset the cost of the burgers and raffles. Any donation is much appreciated and, of course, we’d love to see you the day of the BBQ. And if you are a Vet, we’d like you to attend the BBQ as our guest—this BBQ is to show our appreciation to our Vets and that includes our own Vets as well!! Our next meeting to finalize some of the BBQ details will be held on Tuesday July 12th at 6:30 in the Lounge. We have been discussing applying for a Freedom Grant and will be doing so in July. We have chosen to apply for a grant to take a group of Veterans to the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo. The trip would include lunch for the attendees and perhaps some other type of “treat,” depending on the amount of participants. Anyone interested in helping with the grant, please see either Fran Trozzi or Betty Fortune. As always, thanks for all you do for our Veterans.

TIME 7:00—11:00 PM
We have a Sunshine Committee! Currently our very own Sunshine her-
self, Mary Philipps, cares enough for our Parma Elks to reach out by card, or phone, when someone is ill or in the hospital. Other members too have expressed interest in getting involved. If you would like to assist Mary in reaching out to members in need, please contact Craig Fu-gitt at 440.724.6373 or
We’re trying to get a group to-gether to bus to other Elks Lodges. Details to follow. Date will be scheduled in August, on a Sunday. If you are interested, please call Leslie at 440.346.7321 or email [email protected]. LET US KNOW IF YOU’RE INTER-

You may start brining in your donations for door prizes or raffle prizes. Please make sure that it is marked for the CP Fundraiser with one of the chairpersons name. Also take note that the fund-
raiser will now be held the last Saturday of September (moved from November). Don’t forget that all change, dollar bills and checks fit in those banks just as well as pennies. Re-
member that you can fill one bank with all that money (it doesn’t have to be just $3.65). We will do the counting and you will get credit for whatever amount is in
there. IT IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE. Remember Canadian change will not be counted. Your coop-
eration is greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your support.

Cerebral Palsy Support
The Ohio Elks Association provides financial aid to established Cerebral Palsy Treatment Centers. Every year Ohio Elks lodges around the state raise tens of thousands of dollars to aid CP Treatment Centers who help patients and their families manage Cerebral Palsy. The Ohio Elks Cerebral Palsy Fund Board was created to maintain, administer, contrib-ute and donate funds or property to any Ohio Chapter or branch of any nationally recog-nized or local organization in Ohio which maintains, as a function, the care, treatment, training and rehabilitation of individuals with Cerebral Palsy.
Spotlight on Ohio Elks Support: Hattie Larlham Source:http://news.hattielarlham.org/ohio-elks-support-hattie-larlham-for-46-years/
Hattie Larlham recently recognized the Ohio Elks Association for their 46th years of support. The Ohio Elks have raised more than $304,000 for people with developmental disabilities at Hattie Larlham. The Ohio Elks Associa-tion hosts third party special events which help to fund physical therapy equipment at the Hattie Larlham Center for Children with Disabilities in Mantua, Ohio. The Ohio Elks Association is an organization of 79 lodges and is part of the national Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE). Each state association undertakes a project that addresses an unmet community need. The Ohio Elks Association raises funds for organizations that serve people with cerebral palsy. The Ravenna, Ohio, Lodge #1076 is the sponsoring lodge that submits grant requests to fund Hattie Larlham.

Did you know…
In 1928, one man's dream became a reality for all Elks and the communities we
serve. Then-National President John F. Malley envisioned a plan that would “unite
the forces of the Order into a mighty army for the service of mankind.” During the annual Grand Lodge
Convention in Miami that year, Malley's call to service inspired delegates to take action by voting to es-
tablish the Elks National Foundation (ENF) with an initial $100,000 grant.
More than 85 years after Malley shared his vision with the Order, the ENF continues to unite all Elks in service to their communities. Stay tuned for the continuation of the story and history of ENF and how our local lodge helps!
