Volunteering Opportunity
for the OSEA Convention
Ashland Elks Lodge 944 needs you.
Hello again. I wrote a couple
of months ago about the
OSEA Convention coming up
this April at our Lodge and in-
dicated I would be looking for
volunteers. Well the time has
come to start making my list. I
will be phoning everyone soon
but would love it if you would contact me before I get
to the phone (like many of us, I still work full time).
We will be needing people for all kinds of things: reg-
istration, servers for breakfasts, lunches and dinners,
kitchen help (to work in the kitchen, to bus tables and
to wash dishes), greeters to help visiting Elks locate
events and monitor access to the Lodge, parking lot
attendants, OLCC licensed members to help in the
bars, facility support to help set up and break down
tables and chairs, on site team leaders, raffl e ticket
sales, and various other incidental support people.
Call early and you will be more likely to get your fi rst
choice of duty and shift (which will be posted later.)
I know many of you have already told me that you are
willing to help and now is the time to make it offi cial.
Please call me at 541-482-3390 or 541-292-0471 or
email me at [email protected] to sign up.
This convention can only be a success if you volun-
teer! Please Call.
Thank you in advance for being part of this exciting,
event!
Mary Danca, Lodge Esquire
OSEA Convention Volunteer Coordinator
“Ding” - The Dumb Waiter Has Arrived!After what seemed like centuries,
the new dumbwaiter is installed
and working! It is shiny stainless
steel and has a lighted interior.
Controls on the wall shows where
it is so we can have a more effi cient
kitchen service. A little more work
is to be done making the wall it
was installed in match the rest of
the bar, but it is a great relief to all
the kitchen and serving staff that it
is fi nally working! I think Ron Corallo needs our thanks for seeing this project through to the end, and for tak-
ing a lot of kidding about when would we ever get our dumbwaiter! Thank you Ron!

Died August 10, 2011 in Ashland, Oregon
Initiated March 13, 1946
An Elk for sixty-seven years
Life MembershipHaving met all the requirements of the By-laws of Ashland Lodge #944 and the re-
quirements of the Grand Lodge, members Coleman E. Payne and James C. Busch
have applied for Life Membership in Ashland Lodge. These requests have been
read on the fl oor of the Lodge in regular session. The secret ballot has been set
for our regular Lodge meeting, Wednesday, September 21, 2011.
Brother Payne will achieve 50 years of membership in the Order on September 9,
2011, having been initiated on September 9, 1961 and brother Busch will achieve
50 years of membership on September 27, 2011 having been initiated on Septem-
ber 27, 1961.
Editor’s CornerI tried something diff erent this issue of the bulletin. If
you are reading this on newsprint, then you will not
notice the change. However, if you are reading this
on-line, you will certainly notice that the online bul-
letin is now sporting color images for many of the
photos, and some of the other incidental artwork.
I have been trying to get this done, and I think I have fi nally succeeded! I hope
you like it. I plan to be adding more and more color as I have time.
Please feel free to send me feedback if you like it, and also if you don’t. I really
would like to hear your opinions on how this bulletin can serve you better...So
far, I’ve only gotten a small handful of comments, so please share your thoughts.

at the Lodge meeting when their name was drawn:
ER’s MessageI want to thank all our members who worked on making the car show a big suc-
cess, just to name a few, Jim Potter, Fred Hatfi eld, Michael Golden, Mike Coomler
and so many more.
Let me tell you a little bit about the grand lodge which was held in Phoenix, Ari-
zona. The weather was hot, hotter, and then it even got hotter, and just to throw
in something else they added for our pleasure a sandstorm. There was a lot of
good information put out, a lot of which I have heard before, but even with that
they were able to put a new twist to the old information. The new grand exalted
ruler seems to be a real nice down to earth type of guy and he stated that he
was looking forward to having a great year, he feels that membership is the most
important thing and as we all know we need new members to keep our Lodge
growing. I am adding the results of the propositions that we have discussed in our
lodge (see right column.) Even though some of the numbers show that a proposi-
tion has passed, you will notice that they have an X because another proposition
has failed, so the one with the X also failed - are you confused yet. It took a little
going over numerous times to fi gure it out. (√ means passed, X means failed)
I do not advise anyone to go to Phoenix, Arizona in July unless you like tem-
peratures in 110 plus range. It was sure nice to come home to some nice Oregon
weather and back to our great Lodge and looking forward to the rest of a great
year.
Fraternally,
Herm Blum, ER
The 365 ClubWhen you received your dues notice you probably have seen that there are sev-
eral optional charities to which you can donate. One of them is the 365 Club. Ever
wonder what that is all about? Well, if you check the box and include an extra
$3.65, (a penny a day), with your dues payment, we will put a foil seal on your
membership card proclaiming you to be a B.P.O.E. “365” ‘er. We then accumulate all
the donations and use them to support handicapped youth from our area.
This year we gave $250.00 each to the Hope Equestrian Center and the Jackson
County Special Olympics Committee.
So, next year, when paying your dues include an extra $3.65 and do something
“special” for our special needs kids.

Cars of Summer 2011Thirty-fi ve proud vintage car owners participated in the Cars of Summer at the Elks
parking lot this year. Breakfast was served by the PER’s. Burgers, dogs, ice cream, old
time soda pop and adult beverages were served by a fi ne group of Volunteers. For the
fi rst time that anyone can remember there was a tie for the People’s Choice award
(1957 Chevrolet and a 1936 Boat tail Auburn). Historically the People’s Choice award
winner is the car displayed on next year’s logo and shirts. So next year we will either
have really big shirts or something on both the front and back or.....?? Speaking of
shirts, there are Cars of Summer 2011 T-shirts available in the bar for only $15.00.
These are a really nice unbleached cotton T-shirt screen printed right here in Ashland.

Elvis Was In The Building!Though summer is usually a slow time for events at the Lodge, we had a successful night of fun, fundraising, food and music when Clint came back to sing on Western Night. Hats and Boots were everywhere to be seen and a crowd enjoyed the food and dancing. We raised more than $600.00 to pay for the dumbwaiter. All in all, a great event for July. Herm would like to express his thanks to everyone who helped out with the event, and to Gary for cooking up some great grub![Editor]

Veterans’ Activities ReportThis Summer and past Spring Ashland Elks have been providing social activities
for our local Veterans.
In addition to the weekly Wednesday get-togethers with the Laurel Pines Lodge
Veterans, we have treated the lady residents at (VA) SORCC to lunch at our lodge,
lunch at the beautifully remodeled Rogue River Lodge, and a jet boat ride on the
Rogue River.
Older permanent gentlemen residents at SORCC enjoyed lunch at Miguel’s in
Shady Cove.
Our lodge also sponsored a beginning of the season planning lunch for the AC-
CESS Community Garden located at SORCC. This garden is cared for by volunteers.
The ladies had a good time at lunch in June with Judy, Berniece, Ellen and Kalie.
It was a happy group and the Veterans remarked how nice everyone was. They
were also impressed with our dining area and view. During the jet boat ride the
gals were in awe of the Rogue River and surroundings. Their gratitude has been
genuine and constant.
Thank you for contributing to the Veterans’ Activity Fund and for your personal
support. I feel fortunate to be able to provide a social network with good life ex-
periences for our friends at (VA) SORCC, White City.
We are helping to create wonderful Southern Oregon memories.
Fred and Melanie, I appreciate you for stepping in to host the ACCESS lunch. Jack
and Ron, thank you for the behind-the-scenes help whenever it is needed, and
Gary, your lunches are exceptional.
A reminder of upcoming events that benefi t our local Veterans.
- November - Holiday Gift Drive for children (all ages) of resident
Veterans at SORCC
- November 5th - Wine & Silent Auction
- December 10th - Veterans’ Holiday Awards Lunch in our dining room - (RSVP)
