VOLUME 93 / ISSUE 11, CALVIN COX, EXALTED RULER NAPA CALIFORNIA
MESSAGE FROM YOUR EXALTED RULER
The first month of the new calendar year is almost
over. We started out with a fantastic New Years
Party. Thank you Marilynn and committee. I know
we had a great turn out for our Mike Stornetta
Memorial Crab Feed; 190 people plus. Thank you
Sandy and crew of many. I know our Boy Scout
Troop #832 had a lot to do with the success of this
event. Thank you from all of us for a job well done.
We have two events coming up in February; the
Valentine's Day buffet dinner (Feb.13th) and the
Cioppino Feed (Feb. 25th). Please come out and
support your Lodge and join in on some great food
and fun. I know this bulletin is sent to all the
Lodges in our district and I would like to extend a
welcome to all Elk members and their families and
friends to join us in any of our events. I know you
will enjoy great food and a fun time.
Speaking of fun times, on Jan. 18th sometime in
the early morning my 76 year old appendix decided
it had enough so it swelled up and wanted out. It
was removed before it exploded, thank God. The
recovery instruction sheet says your body will work
fine without an appendix which is good news,
because I can't afford to lose anything else. It also
says I won't have to make any changes in my diet
or lifestyle which is too bad because I could use a
few changes there. It says I should return to normal
in about 3 weeks. I am not sure whether that's good
or bad. I know the only way to go from here is up,
because if I go down any further I won't be coming
back.
Fraternally,
Calvin Cox, Exalted Ruler
FROM YOUR LODGE SECRETARY
Hello All!
January flew by very fast! Our annual Crab Feed was
very well attended with a sold-out crowd of 190
people. Everyone had a great time. The crab was
awesome as was the pasta and salad. Charlie Baker
kept everyone dancing to his great music. The 50/50
raffle was won by Lauren Orris and the rest going to the
Building Fund. Thank you to everyone who donated
wine and other great items for our silent auction. Also,
thank you to everyone who donated to the dessert
auction. A special thank you to Pam and Byron Orris for
all their donations to the silent auction and for all their
hard work in putting it all together.. It was awesome!
Last Wednesday night, January 21st, we initiated a new
member, Michael Zuniga. He is a native Napan and the
father of four. We hope he will come often and get
involved in the Lodge. As most of you know, Vallejo
Lodge #559 has closed. We hope a lot of their members
will consider transferring their memberships to Napa
Lodge. I will be happy to help them if they have any
concerns.
It is almost time to think about the New Year. That
means new officers and committee members. Anyone
interested in running for an office or joining a committee,
please let us know.
Also, anyone who is delinquent with their dues, will
automatically be dropped from the roles on March
31st. Please don't let that happen!
As a lot of you know, our Exalted Ruler, Calvin Cox, has
been out of the Lodge for over a week. He had an
emergency appendectomy and is recovering at
home. We wish him well and hope he will return soon.
Fraternally,
Judy Fisher
Napa Lodge Secretary

Activities Report February 2015
NEW YEAR'S EVE: This year New Year's Eve was on a Wednesday night. Many, many thanks to this year's
chairman, Marilyn Caldwell and her committee for a delightful evening. I know I sure appreciated all their
efforts. The Rat Pack Theme and music were perfect, the appetizers and dinner were wonderful, and the Martini
Bar was a big hit, I loved the Lemon Drops! Many of the folks dressed in the black and white theme and some
of the gentlemen wore tuxes and ties. Also thanks to all the kitchen staff, bar staff, waitresses, Vivian for
flowers and John for the pictures, good job everyone. After the New York New Years the DJ kicked the music
up a notch and the dancing began. Another thank you to Gilda for supplying the van and driver to assist folks
home. Napa Elk's welcomed in 2015 with a bang.
CRAB FEED: This year's Crab Feed was a sellout, almost 200 folks enjoyed the evening. I don't mind telling
everyone as the chairman this was a big undertaking for me, especially without Mike Stornetta. I looked like a
deer caught in the headlights for most of the day and evening. But, we got though it and here is the good news,
we have a new crab feed chairman for next year, Pam and Byron Orris will be 2016 Crab Feed chairmen.
YEAH! My many thanks to many people. First, Sabine did a wonderful job on the Stornetta sauce. Volunteers
for the crab feed were Lee Joiner, Peter Quilici, The Mc Farlands, The Biggs, The Fishers, The Whites, The
Reeds, The Days, Pam and Byron Orris, Roy White & son, Richard Bugaj, Marilyn Caldwell & committee,
Lindsay Wanagel, Dave Bridges & Sholly Terry, Tim Horton, Janis Mousa, Don Parrish, Jan Schreiber, Patty
Tomlinson, Sandy Cordero, Connie Buckles & Daryl Nix, Ron Rae, Cal Cox, Becki Brooks and Dave Silveira.
Hope I didn't forget anyone. Charlie Baker and family did a super job of keeping us entertained with fun music.
More thanks to our Boy Scouts they are always awesome and we appreciate their efforts. The Raffle brought in
$700.00 to the winner (the other half to the Hall’s Building Fund), and Dave Bridges did a Live auction item
and that was won by Ron Rae. Many thanks to all the dessert makers...WOW! I was worried we wouldn't have
enough and we had a full table of goodies. We were all happy to see Mike's daughter, Nikki arrive from Idaho
for her Dad's memorial Crab Feed. Hope everyone enjoyed the 2015 Crab Feed, see you next year.
(P.S. My apology to the lady who won a raffle prize, don't know her name. I got confused about checking
ticket numbers and having the names on the back. I hope someone knows her and tells her I owe her a
raffle prize.)
FRIDAY NIGHT BBQ's and TACO TUESDAYs are back, please join us.
