Leadership:Points for all Lodge Officers to practice
By CHARLES E. DEVINEActivities Committee Member
Stop for just a minute and think about your Lodge.
Can you remember some Exalted Rulers or Officers who
performed their office really well? What about the ones
who struggled and did not complete everything as they
should have. Do you remember why they were
ineffective? Chances are they did not embrace one or
points of leadership that many Elks wish their Lodge
Officers knew:
Recognize othersWe all enjoy being recognized. It does not have to be
expensive or elaborate. Print a Member’s name in the Lodge
Bulletin for all to see. Give him or her a certificate for
helping with a project. The appreciation shown to the ones
you’ve recognized will make them want to he the first to
volunteer on the next project and possibly to work even
harder.
Plan, plan, planThe more planning done before becoming an Officer
means more success during your term. The confidence
gained going through the various Lodge Offices, climbing the
ranks of leadership and learning from your predecessor, will
show as you lead the Lodge through your year. No one else
can claim the victory or the agony of defeat. The buck stops
with you. It is also a year of tremendous personal growth.
Enjoy the ride.
Never take sidesListen to all sides of a controversy. Remain openminded on
all subjects, even if you do not agree. One of your biggest
assets shouls be your ability to work with people.
Find passion pointsAn Officer who takes the time to find out an individual's
hobbies and passions often has a much better chance of
success. Every person has a hot spot that he or she desires to
express or work toward. If you can determine what that is
then you can channel that into your committees, and that
Member is more 1ikely to follow your lead and make sure
that his or her projects and goals are successful. Be
supportive and compassionate to the Members in their
personal endeavors, and they will support you and the Lodge.
Always remember that they are volunteers, too.
Lead by exampleIt’s easy to get someone to follow you to a restaurant
if you buy dinner. It’s not easy to get someone to give up
a weekend to work at an Elks project. To inspire others
to serve, Officers must lead by example. Members are
watching how you conduct yourself and taking cues from
you.
The word leadership means to make a commitment,
understand your responsibilities and then do the job as
best you can. Your Lodge has expressed its confidence
and trust in you by electing you to the office that you
now hold.
The more you plan
before becoming an
Officer
means more success
during your term

ATTENTION MEMBERSWe are planning to utilize Electronic Mail to
deliver the Elks Tail to our members that have an E-
Mail Address. This will save the Lodge approx-
imately $1.00 per member each month in printing
costs and postage, plus the labor of preparation for
mailing. If you have a new E-Mail address notify us
so we can make sure your record is correct. My
address is [email protected].
Please be part of the solution and not part
of the problem
Here it is, August, and the
calender year is more than half
over and summer vacation is just
about over.
We had our 4th of July BBQ
and boy was it good. We had a
full house and it was nice to see all
the members and their guests come
and enjoy a great meal and the
“Pig races” that followed. Thanks
to the Elks of the Year, PER's and
volunteers for a great job.
Our ER will have returned from Reno where the annual
Elks Convention was held and I'm sure it was a good and
productive trip.
It may seem early to some, but I'm going to bring up the
subject (again) of YOU becoming an Officer of this Lodge.
It's been difficult getting Officers the last few years, and
frankly, I don't really understand why. It's rewarding, you get
to meet members of other Lodges and make new friends while
promoting Elkdom.
It's important to get an officer corp. as early as possible.
This helps to transition the member to what his/her duties
entail. We've had some problems the last couple of years in
that a member comes in late, then is not prepared for what is
required. By coming in early, no one is caught unaware, plus
it gives us a head start for Ritual Contest, which is really a
terrific experience and is rich in Elk tradition, and makes for
a smoother operation all around. So please give it serious
consideration. Without Officers there can't be a Lodge.
Fraternally,
Fred J. Duffey, Leading Knight
Greetings fellow members,
I am really happy about the
topic for this month. Unfortu-
nately is isn’t Mother’s Day,
Father’s Day, Thanksgiving,
Christmas, Easter or any of those
inspiring events. I thought I was
onto something though so in
looking for an inspiring August
topic - I “googled it”. Apparently
the first Sunday of August
celebrates “Sisters Day”. That
being said, it is also “National Catfish Month” and “National
Eye Exam” Month. I really didn’t want my sisters to have to
compete with Catfish Month anyhow.
I wanted to talk about celebrating your membership this
month. I was surprised when I went on the National Elks web
site and found that we are actually one of the larger Lodges in
California. We have over 900 members, I was pretty
impressed. I was under the impression that we were pretty
small. I went to a meeting last month where the officers and
trustees outnumbered the members. 1 think there were 10
attending that evening. I was aware that attendance at
meetings was down but since I am still learning things that a
lot of you are already well aware of. I tend to have to process
them and get used to it.
My message this month is just come and be part of
something with the Elks. Let this spark a reminder this month
to bring your family in to a dinner one night, stop by for
lunch, volunteer to participate in something - and even better
... Come to our Elks meetings!
Have a great month and give your sister a call!

I helped with the Flower
Festival float this year. Many
people came together to finish
the float and some stayed until
the wee hours of the morning. I
love working on projects like
that because it gives me an
opportunity to get to know other
members of the Lodge better
and hopefully them me. The
task of glueing to the float
thousands of flower blooms is mind numbing and
tedious. It seemed like a good idea to strike up a
conversation with the person next to me to help pass the
time. After all, Brotherly Love is the foundation of the
Elks saying, " Elks share, Elks care", and how better to
show we care then to take an interest in a fellow
member? I began to see them in a different light as we
shared our life experiences as we worked toward a
common goal of finishing the float. I feel like I benefitted
a great deal from the experience. I feel the warm glow of
Brotherly Love when I think back to that evening and the
time I shared. I encourage every Elk to get involved and
make memories of your own. Come to a meeting and
step up, there is a function just over the horizon.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Elks Tale is an article on ENF
Grants. The Lodge is in need of a
Grant Coordinator to handle
these grants. All applications are
done on- line. If you are inter-
ested in helping in coordinating
or preparing these grants please
let the Exalted Ruler or the
Lodge Secretary know. These
grants can be very rewarding to our Lodge and community.
A big Thank you to all our members who are recruiting
new members. With your help we will again be a plus
number on memberships for the year. We need new or
reinstated members to keep this Lodge open.
Reminder August - starts a two (2) months program
whereby members who have been dropped can be
reinstated for one (1) dollar, plus prorated dues for the year.
This is a special program, approved in our By-Laws, to help
recruit members who have dropped their membership in
the past. If you know someone who dropped their mem-
bership ask them if they would like to rejoin our Lodge.
Any questions, contact the Secretary’s office, 736-8866.
The Flower Festival is over and our Lodge float won
the Sweepstakes Award for best float in the parade. I don’t
have a list of names of those who helped, but you know who
you are.
Also a round of applause to the Trustees and River
Bottom Boys for their efforts in paving the Lodge parking
lot. It is a large project that is being done as funds are
available. If you would like to donate to this project contact
the Lodge office.
Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th of July Festivities and
meal. A big Thank you to all who helped put this on, Elks
of the Year, Lodge Officers, PER’s and kitchen crew.
Without all of this help we would not be able to have these
kinds of Elks activity. The food was great and if you missed
it you missed a great time and some great pig races.

YOUTH ACTIVITIES
BIRTHDAY DINNERS will be served on the 4th Tuesday of the Month
I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer
so far.
I only have a couple updates, so here it is. There
will be NO soccer shoot this year. I have been having
problems getting a committee to help. There is always
a lot of volunteers to help on the day of the event, but
it’s the planning and preparation that I need help with.
Last year, because I was unable to hand out flyers at the
games and at the AYSO opening ceremonies, we only
had six (6) participants. There were several ads that
ran, as well as all the posters put up in businesses
around town, but it wasn’t enough. It was great for the
kids because they all won, and went home with the Elks
Soccer Balls as gifts from the Lodge. I know the kids and
their families really enjoy the event, but the work is the
same for 6 or 60 participants. I hope “we” can turn this
around for next year to be a successful event.
A big Thanks to Jerry Hogan and the Elks of the Year.
Jerry has been selling opportunity drawing tickets
during Monday night burgers and because of this we
will have enough money to order dictionaries again this
year for all the 3rd graders in Lompoc! Thank you to all
of you who come to burger night and support the ticket
sales.
Food sales at Monday night Bingo have been going
okay. The food sold by Youth Activities goes to support
the “Student of the Month/Year” program. I am
thankful for the faithful supporters of the Hot Dog sales.
(even those that come from the member’s side, just to
buy a hot dog). I hope to be adding more variety to the
menu in the upcoming month.
Well, that’s it. See you in the Lodge.
Tarry Hetzel, Youth Activities Chairman.

Only three couples were able to make this month’s
campout to the Santa Barbara Elks. But we still had fun!!!
There was shopping at Trader Joe’s, World Market, and the
Apple Store. A day at Hendry’s Beach was warm and fun for
the dogs, too; but we could have passed on the beach tar! We
dined at the Golf Course and Outback, and had a really
scrumptious feast of Lamb Shanks and Orange Roughy at the
Friday Night Cookout at the Elks which was very reasonably
priced, too!
Tripoley was played outside in front of our rigs. A
policeman patroled through and asked if we were gambling.
We all held up our hands in surrender as we laughed and
affirmed his sentiment! On Saturday we visited the Santa
Barbara County Courthouse. It is breathtaking in style and
the 360° view from the clock tower was awesome! Tours are
free and give a history of Santa Barbara roots and the
courthouse. This and the Santa Barbara Mission are highly
recommended destinations!!!
Friday found us dancing the night away and one couple
even closed down the Elks! Many Santa Barbara Elk
members came by our table and made us feel welcomed at
their Lodge. What an awesome group of members they have!!
Santa Barbara Elks are a very active Lodge! They have
groups that bowl, golf, and camp. There’s a Grounds Crew
and a Highway Litter Crew, and even a Walking Group that
meets three times a week to walk to music in the Lodge. They
offered a Father’s Day Brunch for $10, and there’s the
Upcoming Car Show and 4th of July Celebration; also a Bar
Flys trip is in the making, and Bingo is offered every week!
The Fitness Facility offers a Spa with Whirlpool, professional
weights and aerobic equipment for only $72 per year! If you
ever get a chance to visit, you will not be disappointed in the
camaraderie offered there!
All Elk members and their guests are invited and
welcome to join us for any campout.
All campouts are organized by Trail Bosses
and those scheduled are:
August 3, BBQ (NO campout) at St. Mary’s, Lompoc -
Julie Sherman 740-1297

Attention all Committee Chairpersons and Lodge Mem-
bers, here is a list of Elks National Foundation grants that
are available to the Lodge. All it takes to get a grant is to
apply online and meet the criteria for that grant.
The Elks National Foundation Community Investments
Program Grant Components.
1. Beacon Grant–For ongoing, Elks-led charitable
activities, $2000 grants available to every Lodge.
2. Gratitude Grants–For addressing local needs, $2000
grants available to Lodges that meet the GER’s per
capita goal (we have not met that goal yet, goal,
$4.65 per member.
3. Promise Grants–For Youth activities, $2000 grants
available to the first 500 Lodges that apply with
qualifying projects.
4. Impact Grants–For large scale, Elks-run service
projects, Competitive grants of up to $10,000 for
projects with significant Elk involvement and com-
munity presence
5. Lodge Assistance Grants–For harnessing local
support. Enable local businesses to donate to a
specific Lodge charitable project through a restricted
monetary gift to ENF.
As the Lodge plans the best ways to serve our
community, it’s important to keep the following six broad
categories in mind. ENF grants must be charitable in nature
and our projects must fall under one of these categories.
� Relieve the poor, distressed or underprivileged.
� Advance education or science, but not through
scholarships.
� Lessen the burden of government.
� Lessen neighborhood tensions.
� Eliminate prejudice and discrimination.
� Combat juvenile delinquency.
The Exalted Ruler is in need of an ENF Grants
Coordinator to manage these grants. If you are interested,
please contact the Exalted Ruler or Lodge Secretary

during the day. Soft drinks, bottled water and assorted
chips will also be available.

to the Lodge no later than the 19th of September.

need our members to volunteer their services. This is a
great day for our handicapped guests and I know by

warm feeling in your heart. Lets make our 26th Annual
Happy Happening a hugh success and in the best
tradition of “Elks Care – Elks Share”.

NOTICE
Well, we are over halfway through 2013. I guess the
older we get the faster time seems to go.
Summer is here and I know a lot of you go on
vacation, but don’t forget our monthly Veteran’s Push
from the Convalescent Care Center every third Friday of
the month for their Fish & Chips Luncheon. There is
more Veterans in the Center now so I do need extra help
to continue this great program.
Aluminum cans are coming in great. Last month I
was without a truck and Jerry Hogan helped me get the
cans to recycle. So thank you Jerry. As I have said many
times this program would not be where it is today
without the wonderful help I get from all of you.
Vet Push this month will be on the 16th of August, so
take a couple of hours out of your day and help me. It
might just make your day.
