Exalted Ruler’s Message

Many thanks to all the volunteers who stepped up

and made our New Years celebration one to be remem-

bered. We had great food , fabulous entertainment and

a good time was had by all. On February 14th we will

have a Valentines Day party in the dining room. Tickets

are on sale and are limited to 80 people. On February

28th we will be holding our annual 10K fundraiser for

the Elks National Foundation. Please come out and sup-

port this very important event. The fund raising also

continues through March 31st for the Harry Anna Trust

Fund. This fund is the major source of revenue for our

two major Florida State Elks projects. If we grow the

fund we will also grow the Florida Elks Youth Camp and

the Children's Therapy Services program. The long term

goal for the Children's Therapy Services program is 50

vans. We currently have 23 vans so we have some work

to do to reach that goal.

After every lodge meeting we will have the Pie in

the Eye challenge. Any lodge member can put a Pie in

the Eye of the Exalted Ruler for a mere $10.00 donation.

Keep those pies coming.Our House Committee has been

meeting with some commercial plumbing contractors to

assess our bathroom plumbing problems. It has been

determined that the bathrooms next to the kitchen may

have to be redone. Please be patient while we work

through the process of addressing the situation.

Eland bulletin – February 2015

I want to start with a big THANK YOU to all of the members who so

generously donated items to our annual Garage Sale Fundraiser. You

would think it’s hard to fill a 4,200 square foot room with items to sell,

but we made it seem easy! We raised approximately $1,900, and the

items that were left over were donated to AmVets, so that makes it a win

-win-win for everyone! I also want to thank the Eland and Elk mem-

bers who worked so hard collecting, storing, unloading, sorting, pricing,

selling, and packing it all back up again!

The Past Exalted Ruler’s Recognition Dinner will be on Saturday

February 21st. Tickets are $12 each and available on Monday nights at

Pasta/Trivia and Saturday afternoons at the Tiki bar. You can also call

me to reserve tickets at 825-0710. We will be serving pizza, wings and

sub sandwiches. This event is open to all members and we hope that

you join us as we honor all of our Past Exalted Rulers for their service to

Elkdom.

The Nominating Committee for the 2015/2016 Officers has been

formed, with Chairperson Janet Masters. Anyone interested in holding

an officer spot in the Eland Club for 2015/2016 can contact Janet

directly.

Our February meeting is on Wednesday February 4th at 7:30 pm. Our

March meeting will be Wednesday March 4th at 7:30 pm (always on the

first Wednesday of the month).

Until next time,

Marybeth Geronimo

President, Eland Club of BPOE 829

FEYC Summer Camp

Thanks to all Brothers and Sisters for your donations to the Flori-

late to donate money for the camp. Please continue with your do-

nations of games, sports items and other things that are appropri-

ate, for the 9-13 year old children who attend our Florida Elks

Youth Camp. They have requested that we not send clothing, as

they wish to purchase new clothing items for the less fortunate

campers. We continue to need donations, particularly SPORTS

equipment that can be used at the camp. Keep them coming!!

New Members for January

Kitchen Menu Expands

With a variety of tasty new menu offerings, Chef Dan Catuto has won

the hearts (and stomachs) of the St. Augustine Elks Lodge. His well-

rounded professional cooking experience has led to a number of ex-

panded nightly dinner menus as well as outstanding meals for Lodge

special events. Dan’s cheerful, “can-do” attitude is refreshing and has

earned him respect and appreciation from Lodge staff and his custom-

ers. If you haven’t been to the Lodge for a while, stop by and enjoy

some great food and fellowship. See this month’s calendar for menu

and entertainment highlights.
