Wausau Elks Lodge #248

Dear Fellow 248 Members,

There is only one meeting in December and that is December 1st and that will be an initiation. This opens up the calendar a bit for parents and grandparents to attend children’s Christmas programs, company functions and make preparations for the Holidays!

December brings the joy of children’s eyes glistening at the gifts under the tree and the smiles and laughter of family and friends. The joy of giving to loved ones and the satisfaction of knowing that through our giving we have touched the lives of families less fortunate is gratifying. Good Fellowship is December 17th so there is still plenty of time to donate time and money to this great Elk’s tradition! There is never enough of either to help the needy of our community. Good Fellowship serves our local causes only! ELKS CARE-ELKS SHARE!

Thank you Aaron and Annie Opper for chairing the Children’s Halloween Party. What a success with the new Haunted House! All who participated in the Adult’s Halloween enjoyed the efforts of the Growth Committee. Thanks Marty Sullivan – we salute you for providing the Veterans with a reverent reception.

Before you took your vows to Elkdom you were asked: “Do you believe in God?” This belief is most prevalent in December. Last month I asked you to mark your calendar for December 4th for our Elk’s Memorial Service to remember our brothers and sisters we have lost in the last year. Please join us for brunch and the service! If you need a ride please call the lodge. If you can’t attend please remember our deceased member in you prayers.

Santa will be here the 17th for the Kid’s Christmas Party. See the bulletin for details. This is always a pleasant and quieter setting for the little ones to tell Santa what they want rather than at the mall.

Get your reservations in early for New Year Eve! The Growth Committee is again working hard to make this a splendid evening.

May I in closing, wish you and your families a safe and Blessed Christmas holiday! Remember as an Elk we are all family and have one another.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Henry Lamovec

Exalted Ruler
