● A
NOTE FROM THE HOUSE COMMITTEE:
At a
recent House Committee meeting, there was a discussion
about refusing additional bar service to members who
have obviously over-indulged. I would like to
remind ALL members, that if you bartender refuses to
serve you another drink, the bartender is concerned for
your well-being. Please understand that this is to
keep you and others safe, as well as to protect against
liability to the Lodge. - Lee Schwein/House
Committee Chairman.

Dear Members:
Well, the year is
over and this is my last article. This year has had its fair
share of issues but we made it all happen. I would like to
thank all the members that dedicated their time and willingness for
the Lodge. I hope that we have a much better coming year. |
|
I would like to congratulate
Terry Lowman as the new Exalted Ruler for 2015-2016. Let's all jump in and
give him a hand.
The election is over and I
would like to thank all who ran for offices. I was surprised that we had
so many that were nominated and elected. They will need your help for they
are all new with the exception of Kim Riley, Cody Uptain & Debbie Hite.
Don & Candy Brooks will be
doing Trivia Pursuit every Monday in March, join us & test your knowledge in
music. The last Monday will be (B.Y.O.B.) Build Your Own Burger night.
March 7, is our Male Superstars with choice of grilled Salmon or Prime Rib
Dinner. Purchase your tickets now as they are going fast! We have a
limited amount and only so many seats.
The months of May & June, we
will be holding the Triple Crown horse races. We will have horses &
jockeys drink specials and lunch. More details will be posted in the
Lodge. I will need some help with this event, if interested, call me at
the Lodge in the morning hours to get more information.
Installation of Officers will
be March 28th @ 4:00 pm. This is open to all, come and support our new
officers. I understand we are having a live band that night. More
information regarding this night will come out later in email.
That is all for now and hope
to see you around the Lodge.

welcomes
new Payson Elks
Lodge Member... Joe Terborg
WELCOME!!
|
Congratulations on your initiation into the
Elks, and welcome to Payson Lodge #2154. I'm sure you are enjoying
being a member of this Lodge and will make many new friends.
When you became a member of this Lodge, we
donated $10.00 in your name to the Elks National Foundation. You are
not expected to repay this money, and any future donations on your part are
strictly voluntary. The Lodge took this action to acquaint you with
the Foundation and to encourage you to continue to help the Foundation in
future years.
Three outstanding qualities of the Foundation
are that it is a permanent fund, the fund is raised by voluntary gifts and
without compulsion of any kind and that the entire income from the fund is
available for charitable purposes.
The ENF supports Drug Awareness programs, Most
Valuable Student scholarship competitions, the Elks National Home, Veterans
Hospitals, Vocational Grant programs, the Hoop Shoot, and many other
extremely important charities.
Elks are encouraged to contribute $10.00 a
year, for a total of $100.00 in ten years. One may donate at a faster
rate, if so desired. We ask you to fill out a pledge card at your
convenience.
If you have any
questions, or need more information, please give us a call at (928) 474-2572.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
BECOME AN ELKS ...
|
THE SUCCESS OF
ELKDOM IS DUE TO ITS VOLUNTEERS
As you know, volunteers
are the life’s blood of your Lodge. Without volunteers,
we can’t run our Friday Night Dinners, organize and put
on special events, parties, and fundraisers, like the
annual Craft Fair, Yard Sale, Community Thanksgiving
Dinner, Children’s Christmas Shopping Spree, and many
other projects that benefit our children, our veterans,
our community, and our Lodge. Right now, Friday Night
Dinner is the most critical.
With the disbanding of
the HOPES, we are losing a number of volunteers.
We are now in a critical situation, and
desperately need more of our members, and their family
members, to step up and help.
We know some of you new
members have been called to see if you can help, and no
one got back to you. That’s because we don’t have
volunteers to call you back! If there is anything on
this page (or elsewhere in the Bulletin) that you can do
for your Lodge, please don’t hesitate to call
Kim Riley or Bob Troutman
at the Lodge, or stop in to discuss
how you can help. |
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
 |
The volunteer sign-up sheets are
now on the official notices board across the hall from the
entrance to the lounge. We need
people on Friday Nights:
|
FRIDAY NIGHTS:
Cook
Cook's Helpers
Servers |
Cashier
Bring Dessert
Sell Dessert |
|
|
Can you please help our Lodge?
Even one
night a month would be a great help! |
|
FRIDAY NIGHT COOK CREW
JOB DESCRIPTIONS
-
The Cook is responsible for making the
gravies and mashed potatoes – boiling a pot of water and
stirring in the mixes – heating a vegetable, putting the
pans of chicken, baked fish, etc. in the oven and starting
them to cook, putting all entrees in the steam table when
ready. The cook also runs the deep fryer – placing the
pieces of fish, shrimp, fries etc. in the fryer and removing
them when done.
-
The Dish-Up Person looks at the order and
dips up the foods to fill that order – a baked potato, piece
of bread, veggie, fish, or other items – and then places it
in the window for the waitress.
-
The Back-Up Person helps cut up the bread,
works the ovens getting the baked chicken, fish or ribs and
putting them on a plate; refills the steam table when
potatoes, etc. get low, and is the "gofer" when items are
needed.
One or
more of these three individuals also mixes up the coleslaw and
salad and dishes it up into cups or bowls. |
|
WAITERS & WAITRESSES:
Long hours, no pay, but
just loads of fun!
We need a part-time waitress or
waiter to serve lunches Monday through
