Newark Lodge 2281

Dear Members,

I am hoping this newsletter finds you and your families well and

happy.

It pleases me that we are once again able to provide some

events that we were not able to in 2020 due to the pandemic.

We were so glad to bring Elvis back to the lodge and to provide

an Octoberfest Dinner, Children’s Trunk or Treat and our Adult

Halloween Party. Hopefully, you were able to attend some of

these events. As always, a big thank you to all of our members

and their families that made these successful.

I am happy that we are also able to once again host our Craft and Vendor Fair and Comedy

Show coming up this month. We have also booked live music so be sure to check your

calendars for dates and attend these events if you can.

In our continuing effort to always help others, the following outlines how you can help provide

for those less fortunate:

Patriots Tree -- Stop in and choose an angel once the tree is ready, on or around November

12th.

VA Hospital Wish List – Check out the list of what’s needed within this newsletter.

Coat Drive -- Be on the lookout for a collection container in the lobby and donate your gently

used coats.

As you read through the newsletter, I hope you will enjoy seeing pictures and fun we have had

and information about upcoming activities. We are always in need of a helping hand, so if you

see anything you would like to get involved with, please let me know.

MASKS:

Do you know why surgeons wear masks when they operate? So they won’t infect their

patients. Please respect the well-being of your fellow Elks. Elks and guests who have not

been fully vaccinated are encouraged along with anyone who desires to wear masks indoors.

Masks are still required in: Delaware state buildings, public transit, planes, schools and child

care, health care facilities, and congregate settings.

Sickness and Distress During these stressful times, if you know of a member who is sick, or has passed away, please fill out a card

on the SICK and DISTRESSED Board located in the lounge or email Judy Snyder at:

[email protected]; or call at 302 598-3858
