A Message From The Exalted Ruler A Message From The Leading Knight
Kira Wagner Kira Wagner
April saw the lodge off and running
full steam with many new officers
and committee chairs. Life is like
that – we never know how things
may change and the beauty of this
group is that we adapt.
You’ll notice we have a new
Kitchen Manager and I’m SO
excited that Sandra Baker has
accepted the position. In conjunction with the House
Committee and our Bar Manager, Ramona Mestas, I’m
looking forward to some wonderful events ahead.
Speaking of events, I want to thank our Ritual Team for
the great job they did at contest. Under the tutelage of Mojave Elks 2059, Kira Wagner, ER,
our coach PER/PAVP Warren Guest our team made Presenting a check for $1,000 to Camp Keep
up of Ruben Andrade, Joe Hodgkinson, Susan Bunn,
Charlie Guest, Paul Wagner and our Candidate Ted
Hodgkinson have been practicing for weeks to be able
to inspire new candidates as they become part of the
history. Our Lecturing Knight Steve Rushford
requested a sub due to a major scheduling conflict so
our own Rebecca Watts graciously stepped in, as
always, to allow us to have a full complement from our
own lodge.
You’ll notice a new area in the bulletin with a picture for
“Member of the Month”. Each month I’ll highlight a
different member and it is NO EASY TASK since so
many members work so hard for the lodge. But I want
to thank our Member of the Month, Colleen Heller. I
know attending another “meeting” isn’t the most fun we
can have but the Lodge Meetings are where the deci- Ashley Wussick
sions are made and as an officer, it feels good to have Special Acknowledgement
other members there so that we are not operating in a
vacuum. Colleen always makes it in to the meeting
even though she must first secure the bar and then
know that as soon as the meeting is over, she’s going
to have to do it all over again. For that dedication I
really appreciate her and her efforts!
May brings many more activities to gather together
including Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, our Youth
Scholarship Dinner, Memorial Day, and our CHEA
Convention, so I hope to see you at the lodge on one
or more of these special occasions.
Thank you for being part of my world!
Fraternally,
Kira Wagner, Exalted Ruler
Strengthening Elkdom through Communication and Teamwork!
