Newark Lodge 2281 Dear Members, I am sure you will agree that time passes so quickly. It is hard to believe we are now halfway through our Elks membership year. I am proud of what we have accomplished so far and look forward to what we will do together in the next 6 months. What we do best is helping our community, children and Veterans. Using part of the Gratitude Grant, our Lodge recently delivered $450 of food to Pleasantville Elementary School’s Food Pantry and for our veterans, we are collecting daily need items to be distributed at the VA Hospital. Be sure to check out the list of items needed in this newsletter or on our Facebook page. There is a tote in the lobby to deposit your items. We are all very proud to have hosted the Brotherhood Ride last month. A big thank you to everyone who helped get ready for this; and to those that helped prepare and serve food to the riders and to everyone who came out to support the riders as they arrived and departed. They loved our lodge, our decorations (thank you Carmen Demby), the food (Andy Hallett and crew) and most importantly all the members. I would also like to thank everyone who helped with or attended our Crab Feast and PER Steak Dinner in September. It is so good seeing so many members participate in our activities and events. Besides Thursday night Bingo in the hall, Flip Five on Fridays, monthly Line Dancing and Karaoke, we have some fun activities planned in October. Be sure to check the calendar for dates. ELVIS and the Memphis Mafia will be in the house…back by popular demand! An Octoberfest Dinner…traditional German food! The 2 nd Annual Trunk or Treat, followed by a bonfire. Come and see the creativity and vote your favorite “trunk”. This event was very popular last year and fun was had by both kids and adults alike! Adult Halloween Party and Deck Closing…get those costumes ready! I am happy to say that we have had many new members join this past year. If you are a newly initiated member, welcome! I hope you enjoy this newsletter and I hope you will consider volunteering…it’s what make our lodge great! 2021 - 2022 ELKS OFFICERS JR Biddison Exalted Ruler Tom Smith Leading Knight Jean Amundsen Loyal Knight Judy Snyder Lecturing Knight Roseann Cinclair Secretary Peggy Morris Treasurer John Davis Tiler Beth Biddison Esquire Carrie Barber Chaplain Richard Cinclair Inner Guard TRUSTEES Florian Gargula 5 Year Trustee John Viola 4 Year Trustee Paul Amundsen 3 Year Trustee James Nolan 2 Year Trustee Rich Mayes 1 Year Trustee Fraternally, JR Biddison [email protected] 760-583-8948 Let’s Work Together 2021 October 2021 Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Home of PGER Paul Helsel

Newark Lodge 2281
Dear Members,
I am sure you will agree that time passes so quickly. It is hard
to believe we are now halfway through our Elks membership
year. I am proud of what we have accomplished so far and
look forward to what we will do together in the next 6 months.
What we do best is helping our community, children and
Veterans. Using part of the Gratitude Grant, our Lodge
recently delivered $450 of food to Pleasantville Elementary
School’s Food Pantry and for our veterans, we are collecting
daily need items to be distributed at the VA Hospital. Be sure
to check out the list of items needed in this newsletter or on our
Facebook page. There is a tote in the lobby to deposit your items.
We are all very proud to have hosted the Brotherhood Ride last month. A big thank you to
everyone who helped get ready for this; and to those that helped prepare and serve food to
the riders and to everyone who came out to support the riders as they arrived and departed.
They loved our lodge, our decorations (thank you Carmen Demby), the food (Andy Hallett and
crew) and most importantly all the members.
I would also like to thank everyone who helped with or attended our Crab Feast and PER
Steak Dinner in September. It is so good seeing so many members participate in our activities
and events.
Besides Thursday night Bingo in the hall, Flip Five on Fridays, monthly Line Dancing and
Karaoke, we have some fun activities planned in October. Be sure to check the calendar for
dates.
ELVIS and the Memphis Mafia will be in the house…back by popular demand!
An Octoberfest Dinner…traditional German food!
The 2nd Annual Trunk or Treat, followed by a
bonfire. Come and see the creativity and
vote your favorite “trunk”. This event was
very popular last year and fun was had by
both kids and adults alike!
Adult Halloween Party and Deck Closing…get
those costumes ready!
I am happy to say that we have had many new
members join this past year. If you are a newly
initiated member, welcome! I hope you enjoy this
newsletter and I hope you will consider
volunteering…it’s what make our lodge great!
