A s the unofficial weekend of Summer is behind us, I’d like

to start by wishing all the members and their families a safe summer. Also, I hope you all enjoyed the Memori-al Day parade. On May 23rd, the Officers of the Lodge had the pleas-ure of initiating 10 new members into our Lodge. I’d like to thank each of these new members for their offers of getting involved. I would like to thank eve-ryone who came out for Cinco de Mayo, and Ken-tucky Derby on May 5th. Additionally, Doug Kehl stepped up again for the Lodge on May 19th to run another German Night. Alt-hough the crowds weren’t what we hoped for, each of the events were successful. We once again participat-ed in the annual Memorial Day parade down Main St., and thank you to all those who “stepped” up (pun in-tended!!) to march, or ride

with us. We also once again hosted the Vets, their fami-lies and friends back at the Lodge for burgers and dogs after the parade. Last but not least, thank you to Killiam & Bassette Farm, and Mon-aco Ford for providing trans-portation for those who couldn’t march. On June 9th, the Rotary will be having their annual Lobster Fest at the pavilion. Please provide them the cu-riosity of any other renter of our property. For this event, the range will be shut down for the entire day. On June 2nd and 3rd, the NSSA will be having one of their events at the range. If you would like to witness the activities you are more than welcomed. If you’re interested in joining, feel free to speak to any one of their members participating. On June 16th the Lodge will be conducting the Flag Day ceremonies at the Lodge. This will start at 1PM and all members and

Bullet Notes! The range gate combination was recently

changed, and I would like to stress the fact

you should not be passing this out to anyone

not a member. Furthermore, this will not be

given out to you over the phone, or via

email. You must show your 2018-2019

Lodge Dues card to the bartender.

As the outdoor activities increase over the summer, keep in

mind the range may close without notice. We’ll do our best

to send out notices via email, or you can always feel free to

email the Range directly at elksrange2202@yahoo.com.
