We are in need of some service to our Lodge to make it more functional, invitingnd comfortable.

Our carpet is in need of replacing-even a good cleaning would be good for

starters

An overall good thorough cleaning is needed throughout the Lodge

Even a new paint job would be nice

ease contribute what you can to our Building Maintenance Fund. If you cannot

end a cash donation maybe you can contribute a needed item, service or some of

our time.

irst impressions speak wonders when visitors come into our Lodge. For this

eason we need to stay on top of its maintenance and cleaning.

hese facilities are available to all our members and others for functions and events.

et's keep up the pride in our Lodge, by keeping up with its upkeep.

lease mail your monetary contribution to the Lodge stating that it is for the

uilding Maintenance Fund or call to make arrangements for donations of items or

or volunteering to help with cleaning or other desired involvement.

very little bit of help would be very much appreciated.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

We are considering closing in the dining area to make it more of a smoke free

nvironment for those of you who are non smokers. The majority of members thatome into our Lodge on a regular basis are smokers. To make the Lodge totally

moke free, would very possibly be detrimental to our Lodge at this time. So we

re trying to come up with a viable compromise.

he wall would also create a better atmosphere for families and children by

eparating the dining room from the bar area.

To accomplish this we would need supplies to build the proposed wall and to

modify our exhaust system.

our input on this matter would be very much appreciated. Please call Brenda

reca @ 208-316-4770 with your thoughts or suggestions.

o send in donations for this project, please address your contribution to:

The Snake River Elks Hoop Shoot was held January 21st and the turnout was good but not as

many as expected. I think we are back on track with the program after a longtime away.

Thanks to the many Elk members that showed up to help. Your help was very much

appreciated. Everyone enjoyed themselves and things went smoothly.

Thanks to Justen Halcum and his helper, Brenda Sreca. Justen took it upon himself to paint the

Lodge bathrooms at no charge to the Lodge. What a great Elk!

The first meeting in February is Past Exalted Rulers night, therefore the PER's will take over the

meeting. At this meeting we will be voting on the changes to our By-laws and House Rules. I

encourage everyone to attend. Your input is very important to our Lodge.

In the last couple of months, some members that have been absent have reinstated. Welcome

Back. I hope you find the changes that have been made are some of the reasons you came back

and we look forward to your camaraderie.

In the next couple of months elections for officers for the coming year will be held. We have

three (3) chair positions and two (2) trustee positions open. I encourage anyone to step

forward and be a part of running the Lodge. Positions open will be: Exalted Ruler, Loyal Knight,

Lecturing Knight and 2 trustee positions, as well as the yearly openings of Secretary and

Treasurer. If there is any position that you have an interest in running for or you would like to

nominate someone, please come in and let us know. Your input is important.
