Elk’s Caring, Elk’s Sharing and Elk’s Having Fun!
Kathy Schulte celebrated a milestone birthday in true Elks fashion with one heck of a great party. There where many fantastic entertainers that show up to celebrate her special day. The celebrity guest where Tina Turner, Garth Brooks, and a few more fun characters. Thank you Kathy and Pat for such a fun evening. The Holley-Navarre Elks Lodge 2787 was extremely delighted this year to partner with the Navarre United Methodist Church to host the Back to School Bash for students in South Santa Rosa County. The purpose of the event was to provide school supplies and services to the elementary students in grades Kindergarten through Fifth grade in Navarre. The event took place on Saturday, August 10th, from 5:00 -8:00 PM. In addition to providing much-needed supplies and clothing, our Elks Lodge also provided specific information to the children about our Drug Awareness Program. The Elks NW District Drug Awareness trailer was positioned on the Church grounds and the children were each given a Drug Awareness bag containing coloring books, pencils, bookmarks, backpack tags, and brochures that discussed the effects that drugs and alcohol could have on them. Over 80 bags were distributed and the responses from parents and children were extremely positive. The Navarre United Methodist Church was very grateful for our support and has asked us to partner with them in the future on events similar to this. Thanks to Gail DiNicolantonio, who organized and spearheaded the partnership with the Church, Bill White, who secured the trailer and set it up, and to Tom and Robin Stevens, Toby and Linda Griner, and Lou DiNicolantonio, who supported the event at the trailer that day. Tom and Robin are pictured here on the left, and Toby and Linda are pictured in the Drug Awareness Trailer.
Starting September 16th the Lodge is opened and Happy Hour is Back from 2pm to 5pm. All alcoholic drinks .25 off.
In all my “Log Joggers” I always mention the good food, great time, and fantastic friends we have at our great Lodge and the photos below just show a portion of the good food, some really excellent wines, and a delightful evening. If you have a chance to come out to the Lodge for any of many events you will be presently surprise about the good time you will have.
