ER’s MessageHere we are again, another month gone by. They seem to be passing pretty quick
from my perspective. June is here and we have opportunities to get involved at
the Lodge.
On June 1st, our Lodge is hosting a “Ladies Only” lunch for patients at Southern Or-
egon Rehabilitation Center & Clinics on Friday, at 11:30 a.m. at Rogue River Lodge,
Trail. Lodge ladies and friends are invited. Contact Rhonda Brustol (541.941.9052)
to RSVP or to inquire about future Veteran’s events. Carpools are available.
On June 2nd we are hosting the State Ritual Contest. Six teams are coming to
compete for the State title, and the opportunity to perform in the National con-
test in Austin in July. This is an interesting time to watch teams from all over the
State perform the initiation ritual. Volunteers are needed all day to help with this
event. Call Fred Hatfi eld, PER (541.601.5002) if you would like to come help us.
And feel free to come down to the Lodge for Breakfast and Lunch and meet the
many Elk visitors from the district winning Lodges.
On June 9th, we are having a fun new event with a new vaudeville performance
troop called Speakeasy and the Silhouettes. They will be dancing, singing, and
keeping us laughing. This will be raising money to help pay for our Dumbwaiter.
This is for adults only, but don’t worry... We are not breaking any rules here. Good
clean adult oriented fun.
June 14th is Flag Day, and like we do every year we will honor the emblem of our
Country on the Plaza. We have a band, and many fl ags to display. Come to the
back door of the Lodge at 10 a.m. to help us setup, and/or come down to the
Plaza at noon to be part of the ceremony. If you are available to help, please give
me a call. (541.292.0472)
On June 17th, we have our Family Picnic. The PER Association is throwing a party
for the whole family. It’s free for all to attend, but bring some donations for the PER
fund through some raffl es and a 50/50
drawing. Burgers and Dogs will be hot
off of the grill with all the fi xings. We
may even get to have the Dunk Tank
that we have talked about in the past!
Who would you like to dunk? I am
looking for more volunteers to help
with this one too... Call me at the same
number as above.
Finally, Polly suggested to me that I
show off our state offi cers in the Bulle-
tin, and I thought that was a great idea.
I would like to thank these people for
serving the Elks at the State level. It is
a lot of work, and we should let them
know that we appreciate their service
to this great organization.
Please keep volunteering, with your
help, we are going to keep our Lodge a
vibrant hub of Fun, Fraternity & Charity.
Fraternally,
Michael Golden

Hawaiian Luau ThanksOn May 12th the Ashland Elks Lodge hosted our annual Luau and what a great time we had! The hundred plus people that attended were treated to excellent Ha-
waiian food and enjoyed fantastic hula dancing by Ho’opa’a Hawaii. Some folks braved the dance fl oor and got a quick hula lesson. The kids (and adults) went crazy
with the hula hoops. Many thanks to Ho’opa’a Hawaii for graciously donating their time. A big thank you to Chef Gary Nadeau for the wonderful dinner! Also thank
you to Alan Parowski for bringing his Hawaiian decorations, Joey Ngan for his perfect lighting, and Scott and Nancy Curry for sharing their amazing sound machine.
Congratulations to Sheila Whitesitt and Doug Peterson for winning Mary Danca’s beautiful handmade Hawaiian quilt and Hula book. Thank you Mary! For decorating,
undecorating, cashiering, and serving I want to give many, many thanks to Irene Stone, Berniece Monning, Linda Goldfarb, Nancy Curry, Deanna LaBrensz, Ralph and
Marilyn Fidler, Clyde Brustol, Liz Bailey, Fred Hatfi eld, Mary Bratten, Karen Stewart, Jessica Ballard, Jamie Garcia, Maria Navarrette, Kathy Price and April Carrington. The
volunteers at the Elks Lodge continue to rock! I hope you’ll join us next year for another great Luau.
Mahalo and Aloha to all!
Polly Stonier, Tiler
To DecorateDo you love to decorate for the holidays? Is setting a formal dinner table some-
thing that you enjoy? We are in the process of setting up a “master” list of po-
tential decorators for all the events and holidays at the Lodge. No one would
be obligated to decorate all the time, and this wouldn’t have to be a permanent
commitment. We’d just like to be able to send out an email or make some phone
calls when necessary and if you’re able or willing to help, great. If not, no problem.
After helping decorate for the last 10 years, I can say it really is a lot of fun, so I hope
you’ll join the group for some occasional decorating and FUN. If you’re interested,
please call Polly Stonier at 541.535.4523.
Dominoes Anyone?If you would like to play some dominoes, come down to the Lodge. An informal
friendly game is run every Tuesday at 11 a.m. on the mezzanine during lunch.
Attention Bridge PlayersCome join a great group of people for party bridge at the Lodge Tuesdays, 10 a.m.
until 3 p.m.. Enjoy lunch and some interesting conversation. We need players and
substitutes. For information, please call Joyce Dickinson 541.482.8695.
