Charity • Justice • Brotherly Love • Fidelity

Members and Friends,

I hope everyone is doing well out there in Elkdom. One of the greatest rewards of being an Elk is the caring and protective feelings we have for each member. There are times during our lives something comes along and kicks our legs from beneath us, but there are always members that will stand up, grab you by the arm and make sure you’re okay until you’re back on your feet again. Thank goodness we have our Elk Family and so many members who care.

We had a very successful Visitation on October 10th and I want to thank everyone who contributed and participated.

Drove Ladies meet Jordon at Kids House of Seminole County

Pictured above are (l-r) Barbee Bray, Patty Hanson and Candy Nadeau and in front Jordon. Jordon is a Courthouse Facility Dog that provides emotional support. A big part of her job is to help kids find their voice - sometimes that’s so they can talk about what happened to them during a forensic interview, sometimes it’s part of building self-

esteem and self-confidence in therapy, and sometimes it’s so they can testify in court. Visit Jordan’s Facebook page (Jordon's Journal) to learn of her adventurers if your interested!

Does’ Corner

Dear Does,

What a fun Oktoberfest celebration. Starting with a biergarten in the tea room with pretzels, music by Ken Doster and prizes. Then moving to the Dining Room for wonderful food, music by Thru the Years and German

Dancers. The winners of the raffle baskets were Barbee Bray and Denise Hinkey. Congratulations to both. I cannot express my gratitude enough for all the volunteers for decorating, cooking, and cleaning up. With all the help the Oktoberfest was a big success. There were witches, goblins, and ghosts at the Does Pancake Breakfast. There were goblin soups, pumpkin goodies and ghostly desserts. It was a ghostly fun morning. Thanks to all of the goblins that volunteered. This month we will have back to back meetings due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Nominations and Elections of New Drove Officers for 2022 will be at our Formal meeting on November 10th. If you would like to become an officer, plan on continuing as an officer or would like to serve as a committee chairperson please let me know. This is a good way to get involved and to get to know your fellow Does. Reminder! The Does First Homemade Cake and Pie Auction is Sunday, November 21st from 3:00-6:00pm. You know those bakery items that you dreamed of making and never had the time; they might be at the auction. Everything will be homemade by Does, Elks and Friends. The Auction Bidding Paddles are $5.00 each. You can sign up and pay for your bidding paddle at the bar or the day of the Auction. Cash or check only please. Your actual Bidding Paddle will be handed out half an hour before the Auction starts. Our Auctioneer will be Beth Abramson. This is a good way to get out of baking for the holidays. So please come join us for this fun new event. Our next Ways and Means meeting will be Wednesday, November 3rd at 6:00pm. ALL DOES ARE WELCOME. We need your help in planning our events for 2022. The Holiday season is upon us and there are lots of fun events planned at the Lodge. Hope to see you them.

Kindness never goes unnoticed.

OCKTOBERFEST FASHION SHOW

Elktivities Committee

Do you have a great idea of an event you would like to see at our Lodge? The Elktivities Committee wants to hear from you! Look for our “Elktivities Suggestions” Box located in the Lounge.

Now that the weather has cooled a little, why not lace up your walking shoes and join other 1830 Elks for our Fall Walk-A-Thon on Saturday, Nov. 6th at 9:00am, or please sponsor one of those “walking” as all money raised stays right here and benefits our Lodge!

Make sure you mark Friday, Nov. 19th on your calendar as our Friday Night Dinner will have a “Country” theme complete with Chef Tom’s awesome ribs on the menu.

We would love to see some new faces at our “Elktivities Meetings” that are held the 1st and 3rd Thursday at 7:00 pm at the Lodge. Feel free to stop by and check us out!
