Earth Day — April 25th

Greetings!

A group of your fellow Elks will be helping at Earth Day — and you are invited to join them.

Earth Day will be held on Sunday, April 25th at Kit Carson Park in Escondido. There will be a vintage car show on that date from about 8:00am until 12:00 noon. There will be a big crowd — and lots of trash.

Our group of Elks have agreed to help pick up trash during and after the event — you know — Earth Day — help keep our part of the Planet Earth clean. Those of you who wish to “give back” to your community — this is your chance.

We expect to start about 10:00am on that Sunday morning.

“T” shirts with our Elks logo will be available.

For more information — call the Elks office.

Harrison Beal,

Webmaster

PS. Your dues were due April 1st — but you are more than welcome to help at Earth Day whether you have already paid your 2022 dues or not. We will not be checking your Elks card. Also — bring a guest — they will be also be welcomed.

Still Another Schedule Corection

The Veterans Stand Down that was scheduled to be held in Escondido beginning April 15th has been re-scheduled for September — and they have moved the site to Vista.

The Veterans Stand Down is another opportunity for us to give back to the community — in this instance to assist some of our Veterans. More information will be available at a later date.

Stay tuned.

Lodge Schedule — Corrected Copy

We have a Directors meeting tomorrow — Wednesday, April 7th — with a House meeting to follow. The meetings start at 5:30pm. The bar will be open around 4:30pm and there will be snacks available at around 5:00pm. (Snacks will include baked ham sandwiches — made with some of the best baked ham ever!)

On Friday, April 9th, our bar will open at 4:00pm. Dinner will be served from 5:30pm until 7:00pm.

The menu features Chicken Teriyaki and includes rice, salad and a dessert. Our own Diane Allen

Saturday morning, April 10th, our bar will open at 10:30am. Hamburgers are served from 11:00am until 1:00pm. We expect some relaxation of regulations by that time — which means you can probably help yourself to the fixings — lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, etc. — we might also be spared from trying to open those little packs of mayo, mustard & catsup.

The Corvettes will be our chefs for Saturday.

Looking ahead: We have a Lodge meeting scheduled for next Wednesday — April 14th— bar opens around 5:00pm —light meal served at 6:00pm —

and the meeting starts at 7:00pm.

Looking ahead: “The Veterans Stand Down” will be held in Escondido next week — beginning Thursday 4/15 and lasting trough Sunday 4/18. Many of our Elks members volunteer to assist some of the needy Veterans during that time. If you wish to volunteer — save the date — more information will follow.

Looking ahead: The CVMA Poker Run is next Saturday — 4/17. Our parking lot will be full of motorcycles — and there will be a fun time at our Lodge.

Looking ahead: We have a fishing trip scheduled for Thursday — June 3rd. Our Lodge has chartered a fishing boat at Oceanside Harbor. We expect to sail at 8:00am and return at 4:00pm. We have only six spaces left — please contact the office or call Glen Foss if you wish to join the group. The cost is $120.

Welcome to April & The Beginning of YOUR Lodge’s New Year

Your annual Lodge dues are also due today!

This email is also intended to clarify our Friday Night’s menu — we are serving fish — either baked or fried — and the fish we are serving is mahi-mahi.

Our fish is courtesy of Glen Foss — who is our resident deep sea fisherman.

Glen periodically takes fishing trips into the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean — and he shares his bounty with us. Thank you Glen!

We also will be offering tuna but we only have a limited supply.

Our menu tomorrow night — Friday, April 2nd — in addition to fish — also includes fruited rice, asparagus and a dessert.

All for $12 — including tax and tip. (A huge bargain price!)

Our bar will open at 5:00pm tomorrow night — and dinner will be served from 5:30pm until 7:00pm.

We will be serving inside the Lodge — but we continue to observe social distancing — and face masks are required upon entry into our Lodge.

Our bar opens at 10:30am on Saturday morning — hamburgers are served from 11:00am until 1:00pm. Burgers — with fries — are still only $6. (Great burgers at great prices!)

Welcome to April and to a New Lodge Year

Greetings:

Welcome to April. The first day of April is the start of our new Lodge year and — Dues are Due!

If you have not yet paid your dues for our new fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 — please contact the Lodge office as soon as possible. Do you remember that a portion of your dues go to pay your District dues and a portion goes to pay your National dues? Your Lodge is required to pay your District and National within the next few days, whether we have received your dues payment or not.

Also, please be aware that a portion of our Lodge’s property tax bill is payable within the next few days. We urge you to remit your dues asap to help keep YOUR Lodge solvent!

Thanks to all those loyal Escondido Elk members who have already sent in their dues for next year. Many of you have also added “extras” to your payments that went to some of your favorite Elk charities and/or favorite activities. We appreciate you more than we can express.

This is also Easter Week and the activities at our Lodge have slowed down a bit. We will be serving our Friday Night Dinner at the Lodge this Friday, April 2nd. Our menu features either baked or grilled tuna along with a veggie, salad and a dessert. Our chefs are Tim & Linda Lyons. Our Friday night dinner price is still only $12 per. (Where else can you treat your “significant other” to a great meal at that price — which also includes tax & tip?)

Our bar opens at around 5:00pm on Fridays and our dinner will be served from 5:30pm until 7:00pm.

Our bar opens at 10:30am on Saturdays and hamburgers are served from 11:00am until1:00pm.

Although we are serving inside these days — face masks are still required upon entry into our Lodge and social distancing is observed.

Looking forward to seeing you at YOUR Lodge!

Treasurer

Those students and their parents have been invited to attend the dinner tomorrow night as our honored guests

All Elks are also invited — and encouraged — to attend the dinner. The menu for Saturday night features spaghetti, veggie, salad and a dessert.

Our chef for the evening is Bob Whittaker.

One of the reasons we decided to award these 26 scholarships — from our Ford fund — to local high school students was to also help promote our Elks Lodge among the community.

Thank you!
