Message from your Exalted Ruler…
Greetings to all Lodge #1784 members!
The summer season is flying by. It’s already August, where did the time go? Over the 4th of July weekend I attended the Elks National Convention in Houston, Texas. It was a great time and I learned a lot about the Grand Lodge and how they work. I met a lot of Elks from around the country and made
many new friends. The lodge held its Lobster Fest on July 17th. It was a great success again. I would like to thank Dave Malazzi and Paul Champlin for their hard work. also, I want to thank all the great volunteers who helped make it a great event. It’s the time of year when we hold our annual raffle, so if you haven’t already bought tickets, don’t wait until we run out. We are moving forward with the bar expansion. We retained an architect and have already gotten our A-1 and A-2 survey which he needed to design the footprint of the expansion. When he completes that, we’ll post the proposed design in the lobby so the members can review it. If you have any questions you can talk to me or one of the other officers. Coming up in August is our Beach Jam for Breast Cancer on the 13th, the trip to Saratoga on the 20th, the golf tournament on the 22nd, and our raffle will be on September 5th. I would like to thank all the great volunteers who make this lodge one of the best. In closing, I would like to congratulate Elk of the Month Beverly Dahlstrom who helps with the Antlergram and worked with Rex to get the raffle tickets in the mail. Great job Bev! ER Rick

Veterans Corner…….August 2016 Thanks to all members that attended or worked our Summer BBQ for Veterans. The Manstan Band was even better than their usual terrific performance as they prepared a special treat playing il Silencio, an expanded version of Taps. The New London Chapter of the National Sojourners presented their updated version of their Flag Building Program, bring it forward to current actions. Two pillows donated by Mrs. Betty Travisano and two Lap quilts made by her sister, Shirley Crahan of hot Springs AR, were given to four lucky Guests from the VA and ESPN Veterans once again brought many items to pass out to our Vets. The Food was great our support from the Patriot Guard, Boy/Cub/Girl Scouts as well as the Civil Air Patrol was Fantastic. We had a last minute addition of a Flyover arranged by Committee Member, Bruce Fagan, which was wonderful on the ground, but I failed to con-tact Westbrook Police that we were going to do it so they came by to remind me that it would be helpful to let them know in advance. They had about 50 calls by people thinking it was a drone of some sort. Thanks again to each person that provided help. Our next program will be our First Veterans Ball, September 11, from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM This program is not sponsored by membership but will be a pay in advance event with Choice of food. Attendance will by limited to Westbrook Elks Lodge Members who are Service Veterans and their dates. We will have dinner (beef, fish, or fowl) dancing to Manstan Band as well as Guest Speaker James L. Streeter, Forensics Scientist. Tickets will be on Sale Mid August.
