Some of the highlights included a picture of Lexington elk member Jeff Swing presenting the NC Brain Tumor research Center a check for $9000. $2500 of this total was a donation by him with the balance coming from this past summer's high rock lake poker run. This joint effort between Salisbury and Lexington lodges really packs them in at our river park. Hundreds attend and a good time is had by all.

Also in the newsletter is a list of the Hoop Shoot contest and Most Valuable student scholarship selections as well as updates on the bowling league and Officer messages. There are also 31 who have not paid there dues. If you know any of these members, please contact them and ask them to remain a member.

PER's & Old Timers's meeting. Feb 7th

We had a nice crowd of about 40 Elks and guests at the meeting. Pictured to the right are those that are PER's (we had 11) and the Old Timer's who attended.
The event was held downstairs for several who due to age and medical issues could not make it up the stairs.

Also in attendance were two Elks from Lexington for the Traveling Gavel, the Vice- President of the W/C District, Butch Tomlison and our District Deputy Bill Pelloquin ~ both of Winston-Salem Elks Lodge.

A good meal was served, the meeting went well and it was nice to here the kind comments from all who spoke about their long association with our Lodge. In addition, the DD spoke highly of our Lodge's efforts over the years. His heartfelt comments were greeted enthusiastically by all.

Finally, nominations were made for Officer's for the upcoming year. They will be voted on at our next meeting on Thursday Feb 21.
