Merry Christmas Fellow Elks:
I hope all of you have had an amazing November and enjoyed a great Thanksgiving with friends and family. November has been a month of amazing meals in our clubroom and great fellowship. The board hosted our annual oyster roast this month. It was a great success and everyone had a great time. Thank you to all of our sponsors and volunteers for helping make this amazing event hap-pen year in and year out. December is a great and very busy month for all of us at the San-ford Elks Lodge. Please mark in your calendars and plan to attend one or multiple of these events. There will be events for kids,
adults, and everyone in between. On December 1st, the Sanford Elks Lodge will host our annual Memorial Service for our four fallen members of 2019.
