Exalted Ruler’s Column

Hello all,

Well, the weather person told me Fall started September 23rd and I thought 90 degrees

ended in August! It appears Summer will be with us into the first part of October. Not

looking forward to Winter, but I am missing the nice Fall temps!

I want to thank everyone who came out for our State President Charlie Martin and First Lady Lana. From

the hotel accommodations, gifts, having their preferred refreshments, the outstanding meal, the ride to

the Lodge in Jim Staubach’s 1969 Camaro and to all our members who showed up, Newport put on one

impressive show. Thank you again.

The next day we hosted DDGER Linda Caldwell’s East District Clinic. We hosted over 60 members from

every Lodge in the East and several from the West. After a successful clinic, attendees were treated to an

excellent lunch. Thank you to Nancy Roell, Kathy Frommeyer and all their helpers for dinner Saturday

night and lunch on Sunday. It is amazing what we accomplish when we work together.

The Ladies Flea Market was very successful. We had excellent weather and a lot of buyers makes for a

perfect day. The St. Vincent DePaul truck was great and the it was filled up! I am sure both sellers and St.

Vincent will both be back. Congratulations to Shady, Jenni and all the folks who helped.

Over one hundred tickets were sold for the Red Skelton Tribute Show. I am sure it will be a great time

had by all. Sadly, I had to be in Maysville trying to make some money on my smoked meat.

October is looking very busy. On the 12th there will be a plaque dedication for Joe Amiott at his “home

away from home”, the garage in the back-parking lot with the time to be determined. The 19th is our Hal-

loween Dance which is always fun. The 24th we are planning to have an Initiation. The 27th is an all hands

on deck kind of day. This our Turkey Dinner and Raffle. Help is needed on the floor, in the kitchen and

selling dinner tickets. Please see Kathy Frommeyer to sign up to help.

November starts off quick with the District Deputy official visit on the 7th and the Ladies Homemade Craft

Show on the 9th.

Don’t forget to support your Lodge. Come out for our events or just stop by to have a beverage and

some conversation.

See ya next time,

Ray Pauly, PER, PDDGER

Happy October Y’All!

I am happy to say that we are having an Initiation on October 24th – if you have someone wanting to become

We have also had several dropped members reinstated in the last few months. If you know of any dropped

members, and they want to re-join, please have them call me and I will get the reinstatement application

out to them as quickly as I can.

We have a lot going on at the Lodge in October and November – please see the ER’s column for all the de-

tails.

We are presently working on the by-laws revisions and will be sending out the proposed changes to all mem-

bers. So, if you have moved – you need to be sure I have your address in the CLMS system so that we have a

correct label to mail the information to you.

I can be reached at 859-380-3250 or you can email me at auntpthooks@gmail.com Sickness and Distress - We sadly report the passing of our members:

IMPORTANT NOTICE Delinquent Dues Listing

On the following page is a list of our members who have not yet paid their dues for this 2019-2020

lodge year. We do not want to lose any of our members. If your name is on this list please send in your

$80.00 dues, or if you are a Life Member $50.00. We have already paid your $22.00 Grand Lodge and State

Per Capita Fees on April 1st. Which is something we have to do at that time of year for every member.

I am asking for the help of all of our members to contact anyone on this list that they might know,

and find out if there is a problem as to why they have not paid. Maybe it is something that we can help

solve, or correct. Many on the list have been a member for quite a few years.

It would be very much appreciated if you could help to keep our members. If not, they will automati-

cally be dropped as a member on 3/31/20.

Thank You very much,

Vicky Pauly, Secretary

Can Tab Collections

We have collected 75 lbs. of pull tabs to recycle for Ronald McDonald House. Thanks to all who donate.

Please help us collect the aluminum can tabs from your soft drink and beer cans by removing them from the top of your canned drink and placing them in the bowl on top of the blue recycling trash can. You can also hand them to our bartender, Kathy Hargett. If you are now giving them to someone else, could you please save them for Collection on Monday and Saturday at the Elks. (Since Janet passed away the tab col-lection has been way down. Please consider giving them to the Elks for Darrell Arnold, he is the collector now, and he comes 2x a week to pick them up. The Elks get credit for bringing them in. These little tabs are recycled and the money received for the aluminum helps subsidize the lodging costs for families of very sick children at the Ronald McDonald House.

Thank you, to everyone for contributing to this effort.

Ladies Auxiliary News

Happy Fall Ladies,

September sure was a busy month for our Ladies Auxiliary. Tasters for meeting night was

enjoyed by all and it’s fun to sample all the different food items.

The Flea Market was a successful sell out and people were spending money, thanks and a

great job was done by Jenni Woodruff. We, can’t forget Terri Amiott in the kitchen again making & selling

breakfast & lunch items, with helpers Karen Kuntz and Karen Markus. Thanks to Pam Torrano and Daisy

Napier handling the Ladies booth and selling items. There is always so much that goes on behind the

scenes to make any function a success, plus lots of help.

Sorry we had to cancel the Lady’s night out, it was a change of pace, with a lot of great ideas, fun, food and

entertainment. Maybe we had to much going on or maybe we need to try a date in January or February

when we all need a pick me up from the winter blues. We can’t always depend on having the same func-

tions, it’s time for change, new ideas, we need to appeal to all generations, for support to grow together

with our club.

Mark your calendars, October is going to busy with 3 Quarter auctions, October 1st, 15th & 29th, we will

need lots of baked goods for all three dates. On Sunday, October 27th is the Turkey Raffle, always in need

of baked items for that Bake table also. Pam Torano will be heading up the Turkey Raffle Bake Table. Deb-

bie Hornsby & Mary Lawson are asking for help with the kid’s booth this year, if you could just sign up for 1

hour of time, that gives everyone a break. Big Thanks to Pat Schmitt for taking charge and supplying the

cute food baskets, now that girl knows how to market the idea.

I get the impression from meeting night that members are not always getting information on events hap-

pening at the lodge. I need to work on what I can do to help this situation. With all the technology, Face

Book, the Internet, the Newsletter and word of mouth, I am sure some the members have some great ide-

as to share. Let’s try and work on getting this accomplished.

Change is coming, Karen Kuntz and I had to meet with Pat Valentine who works for the Department of

Charitable Gaming. It was educational learning what we can sell or do at our functions, what paperwork is

required and licenses required and how we do business. I am still asking questions and taking notes and

will forward needed information to our members.

Always a fun night at the Halloween Dance, scheduled for October 19th, music by D.J. Mike Young, $35 cou-

ple includes beer and set ups and some great costumes. This is a function of the Lodge but hope it will be

attended by many members and enjoy the evening. See the flyer in the newsletter.

New to come in November will be a Christmas Craft Show, set for Saturday November 9th from 8:30 to

3pm this will be limited to homemade crafts. For more information or book a spot contact Vicky Pauly 859-

380-3250.

Meeting Night food will be buddy boys & chips & desserts.

Warm Wishes — Shady Orth, Ladies President
