Exalted Ruler's Message
Welcome To Watertown Lodge #496
December 2025
Season greetings to all.
We are in the middle of a very busy holiday season. A time to reflect on everything we are blessed with. A time to look forward to what the New Year will bring. We here at the lodge have been very busy helping out our community. We Hosted a free dinner to honor our veterans. We gave out over 600 free turkey dinners to our seniors. We also handed out 1162 dictionaries along with drug awareness coloring books at 22 schools throughout the area. We also hosted youth’s Hoop Shoot contest at JCC.
We are taking donations for our many other charities that we support like Harvest Dinner and Warm Hands, Warm Feet. Sunday, December 7th, we are having our Elks Memorial service for members that have passed away in the previous year and all the years past.
All of our functions could not be possible without our great volunteers. It would be hard to list all of their names here. They know who they are and we appreciate them. I cannot express how important it is for you to become involved in your lodge. We truly need your help and support. Don’t ask what your lodge can do for you, ask what can you do for the lodge.
Please stay safe this holiday season and cherish your family and friends.
Remember our slogan: Elks Care, Elks Share.
Fraternally yours,
ER Philip K Nuffer
