Exalted Ruler’s Message
Summer is over... you can't tell by the temperature, but the kids are
back in school and football season is here. Activities at our Lodge are
beginning to heat up. Last week our Lodge, along with other veteran
service organizations, participated in the homeless veterans' stand
down. Our Lodge provided food while other organizations aided
homeless veterans in discovering benefits they were entitled to. Job
counseling, haircuts and showers were also provided.
Also last week, our Lodge was visited by members of five different
Elk Lodges to enjoy our Friday hospitality. Needless to say they had
an "Elk" of a good time and extended their compliments.
Saturday, Sept 12, will be our District VP Paul Orvosh's official visit
to our Lodge. The cost will be $12.00 for a stuffed pork loin dinner
which begins at 7:00 p.m. The cocktail hour will begin at 6:00 p.m.
Entertainment by the band Dakota . Come on out and let's give VP
Paul a warm St Augustine welcome. (By the way... his speech is
short)
The inside lounge will reopen for the weekends beginning Saturday,
Sept 12th. Come inside, enjoy the A/C, cool off with a refreshing
beverage and watch a little football.
Breakfast, or maybe even a brunch, is planned to return in October.
Give us your input on what you would like to see!
Have you purchased your New Years' tickets yet? It will be here
sooner that we think. The cost will be $50.00 per person and will in-
clude a filet dinner, all-inclusive bar and dancing to the music of the
Red River Band!

Elk of the Month
Our Elk of the month is Josie Bowman. I have seen her help with a
veterans' luncheon at noon and come back later that evening to help
with spaghetti. That makes for a very long day! Thank you Josie!

Eland Message
Eland Bullen – September 2015
To my fellow Eland Members, and spouses of Elks:
I hope everyone has had a nice summer. This coming month is the
annual Florida Ladies of Elks (FLOE) conference, being held Sept 24-
26 in Melbourne, Fl. It is open to all Elk spouses; membership in the
Eland Club is not required. I’m looking forward to meeng women
from other Elk lodges and hearing about the different fund raising
acvies that their members enjoy. If you are interested in a5end-
ing, you can find more informaon along with the registraon forms
online at:
h5p://www.floridaelks.org/floe
With another successful Luau behind us, our members connue to
sell cake at the Monday night dinners. Be sure to stop by for a tasty
desert and speak with one of our members about our Eland acvies.
Throughout the fall, we will start planning for our big Garage Sale in
January and the PER Recognion Dinner in February. Don’t throw
out those things you are red of, or don’t wear anymore – put aside
a box marked “Eland Garage Sale” and help us to fill our shed with
sale items. The more we have to sell, the more we can make for our
charies. If you would like to help as well as make new friends, con-
sider becoming a member of Eland. Our next regular Eland meeng

Thank you.

Annual Homeless Veterans Stand Down
St. Augustine Elks Lodge #829, working with the St,. Johns County
Veterans Council, hosted the 9th Annual Homeless Veterans Stand
Down on August 22, 2015. Over forty volunteers from every local vet-
erans organization in the County let the 29 veterans and over 100 other
homeless people know that they are not forgotten. Funded by an Elks
foundation grant and donations from local merchants, the homeless
were given showers, hair cuts, toiletry items and clothing. Medical
personnel from the US Department of Veterans Affairs, the local
Wildflower Dental Clinic and job source were on hand to address any
needed care. The Veterans were also given surplus military equipment
and entered into a drawing for a half dozen new bicycles. Past Exalted
Ruler George April and Lodge volunteers fed everyone hamburgers
and hot dogs prior to their leaving.

***Florida Elks Youth Camp***
FEYC BUS TRIP
The Bus trip is changed until February 6th, 2016 in conjunction with the
Quarterly Meeting. We could not come up with a date that was accepta-ble for the Fall.
Thanks to all Brothers and Sisters for your donations to the Florida Elks
Youth Camp with your renewal membership. It is never to late to do-
nate money for the camp. Please continue with your donations of
games, sports items and other things that are appropriate, for the 9-13 year old children who attend our Florida Elks Youth Camp. They have
requested that we not send clothing, as they wish to purchase new
clothing items for the less fortunate campers. We continue to need do-
nations, particularly SPORTS equipment that can be used at the camp.
Keep them coming!!
If you have any questions about the camp, trip or donations, please feel
free to call me at any time: Irv Stockdale
Cell: 904 315 3773, Home 904 471 7812.
Email: [email protected].
Your Continued Support and Donations
