G reetings Members All,
Well, its five degrees outside so I
guess winter has arrived. Bingo
has started and the turkeys are on the way
for our big Thanksgiving dinner. We hope
you can come and be a part of our annual
feast. The Elks state meeting was a huge
success. We got a lot of compliments and I
think Jackson has a lot to offer. Thanks to
the hard work of our Committee and thank
you to everyone who pitched in. Please
make an effort to pay your dues if you
haven't yet. Our Lodge has been helping
folks in this town since the 1940’s and in
order to continue the traditions we need to
keep our membership up and dues paid.
November is Veterans Remembrance
Month. As a nation, we celebrate Veteran’s
Day on November 11. As Elks, we observe
the entire month as Veterans
Remembrance Month. "So long as there are
Veterans, the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks will never forget them." Our
Lodge will be serving free meals to all
Veterans on Friday, November 8th. Come in
to meet and thank some of these folks that
have served our country in times of war and
in times of peace. I want to thank you all for
your continued
support.
Yours in
Elkdom,
Pete Kendzior

You pick your meal, the Lodge buys the ingredients, and you get to show off your culinary chops. Contact Val with questions. Visit our SignUp page to sign up. It’s fun...we promise!
• It’s that time of year...Bingo has started and we need volunteers! Contact Kathleen with questions, or visit our SignUp page to volunteer.
• Our Community Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Val is heading up the committee, and you can visit our SignUp page to see what shifts are available. We need help the week of and day of Thanksgiving. Contact Val with questions [email protected]
• November is Veterans Month for the Elks. We are having a dinner on 11/8 6p to 8p that is free for all veterans. Everyone is invited, though, to honor those that served our country. Contact Donnie Rodgers if you want to know more about Veterans Month activities.

Jackson Hole Elks Lodge No. 1713
@JacksonHoleElks
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
was founded in 1868 to promote and prac-
tice the four cardinal virtues of Charity, Jus-
tice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity; to promote
the welfare and enhance the happiness of
its members; to quicken the spirit of Ameri-
can Patriotism and cultivate good fellow-
ship.
Today the Elks are a fraternal order of nearly
one million members with a network of more
than 2,000 lodges in communities across
the country. Annually the Order spends
more than $80,000,000 for benevolent, edu-
cational, and patriotic community-minded
programs.
Jackson Hole Elks Lodge No. 1713 was char-
tered on July 17th, 1947 and has been serv-
ing the community through the four cardinal
virtues of the B.P.O.E. for over 70 years.
