Greetings, January started off with our Elks Doheny Bonspiel. Eighteen teams participated and a good time was had by all. The Trustees are working hard to raise funds for the air conditioning. They held their first spaghetti dinner on January 6 and will hold two more on the first Saturdays of February and March. Please […]
Greetings, I hope all of you have been able to gather with friends and relatives during the holidays. As most of you know I lost three close family members this year. Christmas was the time we always got together. I have many happy memories of our holiday gatherings. We had a wonderful Tom and Jerry […]
Happy New Year! 2024 is here already – and we have no snow, crazy, isn’t it? I remember once in my life maybe that we didn’t have snow on Christmas and now this year. I looked in my perennial garden today and I have phlox coming up already – I’d definitely be ok if we […]
It’s February already! Boy winter this year has sure been nice to us. Usually by now, I’m so annoyed with snow, ice, cold, etc. I feel like we’re never going to see spring again, but this year, I haven’t had that feeling yet. That’s definitely a nice change. This winter hasn’t been so nice for […]
Will March come in like a Lion? Boy I hope not. I’ve sure enjoyed this winter we’ve had. The best part for me has been the decent roads to drive on. I’m constantly driving somewhere for my job, whether it’s close to home or to Chisholm, Hibbing or beyond. Everyday is a new day that […]
Greetings, I hope my messages over the last two years have been informative. I have tried to let our members know what is going on in the lodge and encourage each one to participate in some way. George and I have really enjoyed our time with the Elks, volunteering, attending district meetings and conventions and […]
With heavy hearts, it is our sad duty to announce that our fifty-plus year old club and dance floor rooftop air conditioning unit cooled its last BTU this past September. It served us well with minimal issues during its lifespan. By today’s standards it was oversized by a factor of at least 2½x from what […]
Members, Hello from Florida! It was nice to send a donation to Silver Bay Veterans Home this month to help them purchase a new grill and extra to purchase things from their needs list too. Their list is available online in case you’d like to send or bring something. (happy to share to anyone). Christmas […]
As the holiday season approaches, so does the dread of coming up with gift ideas for your loved ones. Are you tired of giving trinkets or pairs of socks every year? Would you rather give a gift that has the power to change lives? This year, consider giving the gift of a symbolic donation to […]
And there you have it, we’re wrapping up yet another year. HAPPY DECEMBER everyone! We’ve reached another of my favorite months. I love all of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. The baking cookies and for me lefse, mmmm, one of our favorites. The decorating, the shopping, the gift giving, the parties, but […]
