Hosts are the Josephsons, Schmittlers and Goulds, who say the menu will be similar to last years, though anything can happen.

Gertschs, September 7-9, date change), Rest-a-While for the Officer’s Outing (October 12-14, date change). Thanksgiving dinner meeting at Sons of Norway (Greens, November 13).

Please notice the date changes, which occurred for a variety of reasons.
SUNSHINE: Judy reported on illness or injury for George Wilhite, June Vanderstaay, Vern Rott, Leonard Biskeborn and Ted Morneau. Judy may be reached at (360) 895-2304.
DUES ARE DUE. The new membership chair is Bea Sande. Dues may be paid at any meeting or mailed to her. The address in the old rosters is correct if you do not have a new roster. Her phone is (360) 275-2182.
Speaking of rosters: Juanita Spong has printed new copies to correct printing errors. You may get a version at any meeting. If you can not come to a meeting and desire one mailed to you, call Juanita at (360) 895-8797. They will be mailed to shut-ins and those out of the area.
Bill Spong as lots of Elk park books, flags, flag-holders and pins for sell at discounted prices. By-the-way, Bill has been working Hot-dogs on the Patio for the Club and may call for help.
Ann Smith has volunteered to co-chair Hamburgers on the Patio, but needs a co-chair. Travel N Fun cooks and serves in May and September. We need a historian, swing set raffle chair, and editor (The old scribbler has been penning your column for nearly seven years. Sales for the latter will start in late April with the raffle to be held at the Lodge’s Family picnic. Last year’s ticket sales went for a Lodge window and heaters in the RV Park restrooms.
The heaters have been installed by BPOE members Joe Showman and Cal Ehly. They also repaired a broken glass on the fireplace. Thank you, Brothers.
The next meeting will be Monday, February 13 at the Lodge. Greet at six, meet at seven.
If you have any questions, news or comments, call 373-6416 or email gardawg@msn.com.
