Exalted Ruler's Message
Welcome To Watertown Lodge #496
July 2020
Happy Hot July, fellow Elks!
We are just slowly reopening our Lodge. Thanks to Ernie Mustizer and Joe Navarra for looking into all State guidelines to be sure we adhere to them. When visiting the Lodge, please observe all signage, wear a face mask and feel free to use the hand sanitizers that are within the Lodge.
Since early June we have had a couple of events and some meetings. We had our Flag Day ceremony and Father’s Day Chicken Barbeque. Thanks to all those who came out to support our Chicken Barbeque. There was a House Committee meeting, Trustees meeting, Board of Directors meeting, and a Lodge meeting. We are slowly rolling along now. We also initiated six new members into the Lodge. Please wELKome those six new members!
We are going through a couple more months without the Lodge bulletin. There are just not enough upcoming events to post in the bulletin and with the number of members we have in our Lodge it is just way too costly to publish and distribute them. We are looking into this and hope to get in touch with all members of our Lodge to see if we can find a cost-saving way of keeping our members up to date on all of our upcoming events, messages from the Exalted Ruler, messages from the treasurer, messages from our secretary, etc. We want to keep ALL of our members informed of everything.
On Friday, July 10th, we will have our first dinner available at the Lodge. Check the flyer on this website and on Facebook. It is just a start and the selections are kept small at this point. Oh, I can’t wait to have Fish Fry again!!
We have started adding more to this website; calendar of events, Lodge hours, meetings, etc. We are getting there, slowly but surely. In the meantime, feel free to stop in at the Lodge, observe all signage and stay safe!
Fraternally yours,
ER Dennis J. Brady
