Summer has come and gone so quickly.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. The lodge
has been busy and needs your attention. We need more members to be involved.
On
Sunday August 17th I attended the East District Picnic at Camp Moore. Closter
was well supported including Lisa Bailey, Al and Deneen Kanze, Haropolous, Joe
Grey, Jim Riccuti, and of course running the show Tom Grady. If you have never
been it would make you proud. All of the elks energies are creating a wonderful
experience for the kids.
On
August 23rd the annual Ray Bush Pig Roast was held. A fantastic job of running
and organizing the event by Sal, Kenny Brueig, and Joe Voto.While it was well
attended it would have been nice to see more Closter members there.
At the August 20th meeting four new members were brought into the lodge.
Congrats and welcome to Russell Carpanini, Joe Rolan, Joe Karach, and John
Dunleavy.
Starting
in September we are going back to two meetings a month. This is coming from the
grand lodge and was approved at the Anaheim convention. No longer will
individual lodges have the option of meeting once. So we will be meeting on the
second and fourth Wednesday except for December, July and August. Personally I
liked one meeting a month but it is what it is.
On
Oct 5th Hackensack is having their annual Columbus Day parade. The East District
will be marching and I would like to see a strong showing from Closter. There
will be a signup sheet at the lodge and see Paul Haropolous for more info. It
starts at 11am followed by a street festival on Main St. Should be a fun
afternoon.
Please
check the bulletin for upcoming events. Better yet come on down for a libation
and see our bulletin board i9n the lodge.
