"The solution to your catering equation"

This space available for
advertising

We are in need of some service to our Lodge to make it more functional, inviting
and comfortable.
Our carpet is in need of replacing-even a good cleaning would be good for
starters
An overall good thorough cleaning is needed throughout the Lodge
Even a new paint job would be nice

Please contribute what you can to our Building Maintenance Fund. If you cannot
send a cash donation maybe you can contribute a needed item, service or some of
your time.

First impressions speak wonders when visitors come into our Lodge. For this
reason we need to stay on top of its maintenance and cleaning.

These facilities are available to all our members and others for functions and events.

Let's keep up the pride in our Lodge, by keeping up with its upkeep.

Please mail your monetary contribution to the Lodge stating that it is for the
Building Maintenance Fund or call to make arrangements for donations of items or
for volunteering to help with cleaning or other desired involvement.

Every little bit of help would be very much appreciated.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

We are considering closing in the dining area to make it more of a smoke free
environment for those of you who are non smokers. The majority of members that
come into our Lodge on a regular basis are smokers. To make the Lodge totally
smoke free, would very possibly be detrimental to our Lodge at this time. So we
are trying to come up with a viable compromise.

The wall would also create a better atmosphere for families and children by
separating the dining room from the bar area.

To accomplish this we would need supplies to build the proposed wall and to
modify our exhaust system.

Your input on this matter would be very much appreciated. Please call Brenda
Sreca @ 208-316-4770 with your thoughts or suggestions.

To send in donations for this project, please address your contribution to:
Snake River Elks #2807, Attn: Brenda Sreca/Dining Wall Fund.

The C-Note monies go into a permanent fund

pay for care for low income patients.

You can also help by donating cash or food to
the annual Food Caravan which has been
rescheduled to September of 2012.

I just wanted to let everyone know that
the Friday Night Specials are doing very
well and I appreciate the support
you have given them. If you have a
favorite dinner or a suggestion I would
welcome them and do my best to make
sure they are added or repeated.
Thank you,
Marvin

Know Your Signs and Symptoms
Some heart attacks are sudden and intense; however, most heart
attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected
aren't sure what's wrong and wait too long before getting help. Here are
signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:
Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the
center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that
goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable
pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can
include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck,
jaw, or stomach.
Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs. These may include breaking out in a cold sweat,
nausea, or lightheadedness.

We had some great Lasagna cooked by
Brenda Sreca and Cyndi Bledsoe.

Turnout was poor due to the weather.
Although, we were happy that everyone
was safe and did not venture out far in
the nasty weather. Thank you to
everyone who did attended.









Have you made a payment on your Elk's
National Foundation pledge yet this year?
Do you want to start a new pledge? Please
remember that ENF funds the MVS
scholarships, drug awareness, hoop shoot,
and legacy grants at the national level, In
addition, the Idaho State Elk's receives
most of its funding from ENF. Without ENF
support the state won't have funding for
hoop shoot, drug awareness, soccer shoot
or Veterans. If you want to make a
payment or have any questions, please
contact Marvin Chamberlain at 734-4244
or

The Snake River Elks Hoop Shoot was held January 21st and the turnout was good but not as
many as expected. I think we are back on track with the program after a longtime away.

Thanks to the many Elk members that showed up to help. Your help was very much
appreciated. Everyone enjoyed themselves and things went smoothly.

Thanks to Justen Halcum and his helper, Brenda Sreca. Justen took it upon himself to paint the
Lodge bathrooms at no charge to the Lodge. What a great Elk!

The first meeting in February is Past Exalted Rulers night, therefore the PER's will take over the
meeting. At this meeting we will be voting on the changes to our By-laws and House Rules. I
encourage everyone to attend. Your input is very important to our Lodge.

In the last couple of months, some members that have been absent have reinstated. Welcome
Back. I hope you find the changes that have been made are some of the reasons you came back
and we look forward to your camaraderie.

In the next couple of months elections for officers for the coming year will be held. We have
three (3) chair positions and two (2) trustee positions open. I encourage anyone to step
forward and be a part of running the Lodge. Positions open will be: Exalted Ruler, Loyal Knight,
Lecturing Knight and 2 trustee positions, as well as the yearly openings of Secretary and
Treasurer. If there is any position that you have an interest in running for or you would like to
nominate someone, please come in and let us know. Your input is important.
