FROM THE SECRETARY
LODGE HOURS AND ACTIVITIES
Greeting and Happy Fall! This
is the time of year when we
look forward to cooler weather
and the return of the snow-
birds. I hope you all had a good
summer.
Have you paid your dues yet?
Don’t forget, your dues help us
pay our bills and provide you
with fun activities! A group of
volunteers recently called all
members that our records show as unpaid. We apologize to
those of you who have paid. We will correct our records.
For those who were left a message please call the office at
(352)628-1221 to pay your dues or to tell us you are not
renewing so we can get our records up to date. Thanks.
Fraternally,
Kris Estus
Exalted Ruler
We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don’t know. W.H. Auden

VETERANS COMMITTEE
L.O.E. UPCOMING SEPTEMBER
L.O.E. SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS
WEST CITRUS LADIES OF THE ELKS
Our State President, Suzi Simonelli,
has issued a challenge to each mem-
ber. That challenge is for each mem-
ber to bring in one new member this
year. I’m sure that we all can find
someone who would like to have
access to our dining room with its
great meals and our bar with our low
prices but let’s take the challenge a
step further. Let’s each bring in a
new member who will join us in our
efforts to make the world a better place for the more unfortu-
nate, the disabled veterans who are confined to living facilities,
the children who without us might never have a chance to attend
a summer camp, the scouting program the donations of food to
the food pantry and the list goes on. We are the premier patriot-
ic and charitable organization in our country. To continue our
order’s work we need likeminded people who will roll up their
sleeves and help, people who are interested in community ser-
vice.
MESSAGE FROM BRIAN ESTUS,
CENTRAL DISTRICT VICE PRESIDENT
The Veteran’s Committee has had a busy
summer. The Committee did an out-
standing job in hosting the 12th annual
breakfast for the Aaron A. Weaver Mili-
tary Order of the Purple Hearts and Gold
Star families on August 7, 2021.
This is our way to show our appreciation and honor to those
who have been wounded during service to our country. There
were many Citrus County dignitaries present including our
congressional representative Congressman Daniel Webster.
It was with great pleasure to present a check for $3,500.00 to
Greg Pelletier representing the new Citrus County organiza-
tion called “Bridge 4 Veterans” on August 11, 2021. These
funds will be used to supply and support many needs for our
local homeless veterans. We thank Kris Estus for applying
and receiving these grant funds awarded to our Lodge from
the Elks Grand Lodge.
The Veterans Committee will be holding their annual Dinner
Dance on Sept 25, 2021. We will have music and dancing by
“Solid Gold”. Tickets will go on sale on August 31st for
$17.00. A choice of roast beef or chicken cordon bleu, cock-
tails at 5:00 pm and dinner at 6:00 p.m. Tickets can be pur-
chased every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday till September
17th. This is always a fun event and a way to support our
veterans committee.
If you are interested in joining our committee, please call Jo-
anne Hepner at (352)212-8435. Our meetings are always on
the 1st Monday of every month at 10:30 am. All are wel-
comed.
Warm regards,
Joanne Hepner
Veterans Committee Chairperson

Hi LOE, first I want to say a big
Thank You to all of our members,
and their guests, who were able to
attend the Kick Off Luncheon.
There were 41 of us who attended. I
want to send a big Thank You to
Janet Porter, Jill Jerowski, Rick
Jerowski, Edna Pirmann and Eppie
Demchek for helping me set up,
pack up, and for handling the 50/50
raffle. You guys have a job for life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. There are pictures of the
luncheon on the Action Around the Lodge section of the Lodge
newsletter. I also wanted to send a shout out to those who want-
ed to attend the luncheon but for health reasons, they were ad-
vised to stay home. Hopefully, we will be able to get together in
a safer environment soon.
We have a lot of activities happening. The Arts and Crafts
Show, Saturday October 16, 2021 is moving along very well in
the hands of Kathy Manning. Kathy tells me that there will be
new vendors this year. The show will be open on Friday, Octo-
ber 15, 2021 at the evening dinner service (4pm-7:30pm) in the
Lounge. Lodge Members and their guests can have a first
glimpse and purchase in advance of the Saturday show. We hope
that all of our members will come out and support the LOE. Also, the LOE Flea Market shed will be open again on September
11, 2021 from 9am-12noon. Teresa Jancura and her excellent
shed team will eagerly await you as you deliver your light used
items. I would like to encourage all of you to come to the general mem-
bership meeting on September 27, 2021 at 12:30pm. We have
quite a few items that will need your discussion and vote, so
please be present if you can.
Stay safe!
Warm regards,
Donna Hayes

AMERICANISM COMMITTEE NEWS
We have some happy and uplifting news to report to our mem-bers. This summer our Lodge sponsored 25 children who attend-ed a total of 32 weeks at the Florida Elks Youth Camp. Funds to provide these sponsorships came from proceeds of prior years’ golf tournaments organized by Irv Hendren. Also, a very special THANK YOU to our Ladies of the Elks who sponsored six of the scholarships. This year we received a beautiful letter from one of our first-time campers. Colton was a 2nd place winner in the Elks 2020 Ameri-canism Essay Contest. This was his first time away from home. Mom reported “…I saw a different boy walking out to me. …I didn’t even recognize him at first…he seemed to mature about 3 years in one week’s time. …His first sentence was “I want to come back next year.” The camp was first rate all the way, grounds,..facilities,…staff.” The goal and substance of the Elks Americanism Committee is to
promote patriotism, which begins with our children – our future.
Jeannette Buck-Newhouse - Americanism Committee Chair
The West Citrus Elks Lodge #2693, along with the veterans commit-tee, again extended their generous hand to our community recently by donating $3,500.00 to Greg Pelletier representing the new Citrus County organization called “Bridge 4 Veterans” on August 11, 2021. These funds will be used to supply and support many needs for our local homeless veterans. The committee would like to thank Kris Estus for applying and receiving these grant funds awarded to our Lodge from the Elks Grand Lodge. From left to right, Joanne Hep-ner, Veterans Committee Chairperson, Greg Pelletier, with Bridge 4 Veterans, Frank Hayes, veterans committee member and Kris Estus, Exalted Ruler.
