As noted in the February Reporter, the lodge had two hoop shoot winners advance to the State competition in Hawthorne Nevada held on February 15, Jillian Foster and Jake Wight. Unfortunately, neither will advance to the regional competition, however, I am proud to announce both came in second place in their respective divisions.
The lodge had extra monies in the Hoop Shoot budget and was able to purchase 12 referee shirts for future annual hoop shoot events. The shirts were on clearance for $3.95 and, although the only sizes were XL and XXL, the shirts will still be able to be used for forthcoming events if we all tuck our shirts in. Previously the lodge only owned approximately five referee shirts.
The Sweetheart Ball and Awards Dinner was held on February 14, 2020. I am pleased to announce Mike Stowell as the Elk of the Year. Mike exemplifies the Elk spirit in that, in time the selection committee has known Mike, none of us have heard a negative word from him. All his conversations are positive. Mike is generous with his time and his conversations are well thought out and interesting. Mike enjoys coming to the lodge and enjoys conversing with his fellow Elks and, Mike has participated in most of the community volunteer efforts of the lodge this past Elk year.

Danny McGinley, Veteran’s Chairman
SPARKS ELKS LADIES - President's Message I am doing much better and will be getting my cast off on the 20th and will be really glad to be rid of it. I appreciate all your well wishes during this time. By the time you receive this Reporter you will have gone to the Sweetheart Valentine’s event. I hope that it was a great dinner and dance and congratulate the awards winners. The Elks Ladies decided not to take part in the voting polls for the upcoming election. After much research by Lucy, we felt it required too many hours and very long days of standing at the polls. We will have to find other ways to do fundraisers. It is time for the St. Paddy’s day corned beef sandwich making, along with the great tasting potato salad made by the SEL ladies. I’m hoping for great sales this year. Our Potluck for March 3rd will be pork sliders and all the fixings. Don’t forget that your dues will be coming up for the SELs. My time as President has almost come to an end and it has been a great year for me. I hope that it goes well for the next President also. I want to thank all the ladies that stepped up to be officers for 2020/2021. They will need additional help on some of the committees – please participate. Thanks again, DIANE NIELSEN, President Sparks Elks Ladies PERS CORNER St. Paddy's day sandwich event. This will take place on Tuesday March 17, 2020. Preparatory meeting will take place on Monday March 9th at 11am at the lodge. We will finalize phone people, packers ,slicers, salad makers and packers for the actual date. I really appreciate any and all help on this endeavor. We will shoot for 400 sandwiches this year as well. Price to stay the same as last year at $9.00 per sandwich.

the lodge door.

events and put them in binders. The binders hold activity reports, financial information and
any other pertinent information that would help a new chairperson plan an event.

organizational skills.
