December, 2014 VOLUME 93 / ISSUE 9, CALVIN COX, EXALTED RULER NAPA CALIFORNIA
MESSAGE FROM YOUR EXALTED RULER
It's almost December! Turkey Day has come and gone. Christmas is just around the corner. It is the time of year when our bathroom scales are straining to keep us from gaining weight from all the holiday goodies put in front of us. I want to wish all the members of Napa Lodge #832 and all brothers and sisters of Elkdom a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! In November I chose Lillian Hartenstine as Elk of the Month and her two daughters, Cindy Batto and Jo Ann Escamilla as volunteers of the month for their dedication to Taco Tuesday which they started some years back. Thanks you ladies for all you do! Fraternally,
Calvin Cox Exalted Ruler
FROM YOUR LODGE SECRETARY Hello All!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. It is hard to believe Christmas is coming soon.
On Wednesday, November 19th we initiated into the Lodge six new members: Bobbe Lee Ferraiolo, Roy White, Jennifer Phillips, Leanne White, Jim Brunsvold, Dr. Daniel Bennett. We hope they will all get involved in all our activities and committees. Also, we want to welcome a new member, Christopher Hunter, who transferred from the Clearfield, PA Lodge.
At this time we have 529 active members, 23 members who are delinquent. We hope these members will pay their dues so they can become active in the Lodge.
We would like to invite all our members and friends to our Memorial Sunday on December 7th. This is honoring our members who have passed this year and before. There will be a light brunch after the ceremony. The memorial begins at 11:00 a.m. We hope you all will attend.
Wishing you and yours the best holidays ever!
Fraternally,
Judy Fisher Napa Lodge Secretary

We had a good turnout for dinner and everyone was cheering on this year's champions the SF Giants. Fun evening. Halloween: Fantastic turnout for this event. Great costumes, Best costume winner was Vivian McFarland in cognito as Ms. Peacock, Funniest costume went to our Lecturing Knight Ron Kilby as Dr. Kilby MD (Medically Disturbed) and we had a tie for the Spookiest costume and that was shared by Gilda the Pirate and Lone Ranger's (Tonto). Thank you everyone who dressed up for this occasion. Thanks to our costume judges Betty and Chuck Rathjen. Very tasty spooky dinner and dessert prepared by Sabine. My many thanks to Francisco for hanging decorations, Vivian McFarland for her assistance and flowers, and the staff and volunteers for working the buffet and helping where needed.
