Dear Elks Families:
As you can see throughout this newsletter, we are back. Well, sort of.
We were able to open both, the pool and club room, but with that we have restrictions. We ask all mem-
bers to help by staying within the guidelines so we can get through this difficult time.
I am proud to announce that during these difficult times, our lodge was able to contribute one more time
to our community in May. With the assistance of the North Carolina Elks Charitable Trust we were able
to donate $1,000 to Family Promise to help with local homeless families.
We do have a slight change in our plans. Our original plan was to have an Anniversary Cookout and a
4th of July Cookout. However, due to the current restrictions, we have made the decision to change it up.
Be assured everyone, the horizon is bright. We are planning a major cookout and party called “We're
Back” party to be held as soon as we can fully open. This will include both the pool and club side for all
members and families. Expect a pig pickin BBQ, drink specials, drawings, and entertainment.
It is my hope this will be huge and will make up for what we have had to
go without. While there is no way to come up with a date, hopefully Please see ER, Page 4

WELCOME BACK to the Club-room
We have re-opened under strict Covid-19 rules and regulations for the next 5 weeks.
MEMBERS AND SPOUSE ONLY – NO EXCEPTIONS
If you have not paid your dues you will need to pay before we serve you.
You will notice tables and bar stools set up by management and these are not to be
moved or joined with other tables.
During this period members are expected to social distance and follow rules and guidelines as
set down by North Carolina.
In the event of question or dispute, the bartender is the authority!
Together we will get through this.
Thank you so much and please help us all maintain this re-opening in good manner.
Thank you

we can have it in late July or August as soon as the Governor has lifted all the
restrictions.
I would like to give a special shout-out here. Tim Sinnott and Melissa Graham
who have become our Covid-19 King and Queen, have worked very hard to
offer as much as possible during the shutdown with takeout food. Even now,
they come up with new ideas to overcome issues as they arise. One issue is
that beef prices have tripled, so they are both working on creative menus for
the next month or two to keep us from raising prices and keeping your Elks
membership value added. Rest assure we are doing all we can.
All in all I am thankful for everyone’s help and support through this all. Our lodge has proved, once again,
that together we can overcome anything. I look forward to what we can accomplish next.

Tip of the Antlers!
A great big “hoof clappin” Tip of the Antlers to:
Chris Gill, Nathan Cochrane, Steve Johnson, Rodney Cummings, Tim Sinnott, Chanda Coomer,
Alex Voytik, Tim Childress, Joe Clancy, Gene Connor, Glen Gunter, Carolyn Lee and her pool staff
for getting the pool cleaned up and ready for the summer fun!
Tim Sinnott and Melissa Graham for preparing dinners during the Covid-19 closing, and Thanks
to the members that supported the Lodge during the Closure by purchasing take out dinners.
Melissa Graham for making a face mask to fit our Elk and as a neighborly gesture made one for us to present to the
Moose Lodge for their Moose.
Glen Gunter for adjusting the gates going into the pool.
This is what makes our Lodge successful!!! It takes lots and lots of volunteers. Thanks again to
everyone that takes time out of their busy schedule to help our Lodge continue to demonstrate
“Elks Care-Elks Share”.
History Report
(From Mike McGraw, Lodge Historian)
History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.
…… Nelson Mandela
Unfortunately, I am sorry to say with everything that has been going
on, time got away and there is no anniversary letter this month.
That’s because in the past month we have been creating history.
Nowhere in any of our minute books or records could we find a time
that shows experience on what we have lived through these past 2
months.
Here are a few things to look forward to:
In July we will talk about the history of our pool with a very interesting twist.
In August we will introduce those from our Lodge who went on to higher offices to include 3 members
who became our state president.
In September we will talk about 3 Elks from other lodges who were actually the spark plugs that got the
Sanford Lodge going.
In October we still hope we can have a full celebration marking the 75th anniversary of our institution
Rest assured, the Anniversary committee is back to the planning board and working
on finishing out this year in celebration.
