November Elk of the Month — John Fredericks

Elk of the Month is John Fredericks (son of PER Owen Fredericks) – John participates on several cooking teams, has spent many hours in the kitchen this year and is especially known for his outrageous prime rib. We (and our tummies) appreciate his skills and efforts! Congrats and thanks to John for being involved and contributing to our Lodge’s reputation for great dinners.


October Elk of the Month — Juan LLaverias

Juan, who is a regular at the Lodge and can be seen around the dart board, spearheaded the recycling project at the Lodge which has generated periodic donations to the Purple Pig among its other benefits. Most recent, at the September Lodge meeting, he presented $100 from the bottle recycling. Later on he hopes to expand to include plastics. He also plans on having a “Take Your Cans to Dinner” program. Members will be encouraged to save and bring their aluminum cans to a Friday night dinner where he will have collection barrels set out front. So gather up your aluminum cans and bring them in, you will help Mother Earth as well as the Purple Pig Project and the many children to walk, talk, see and play. Thanks and Congrats to you Juan for stepping up and running with a good idea!

September Elk of the Month — Mike O’Brien

Mike helps out in the kitchen, was one of the prime movers of the emergency cooking plan and is a virtual artesian well of new members as he spreads the good word and works of Elkdom! Congrats and Thanks to Mike for making a difference!
