EXALTED RULER MESSAGE
As we move closer to our new Elks
year, (March 31) the nomination process for
our new Lodge officers will begin. On
February 10, the nominations for Exalted
Ruler, Esteemed Leading, Loyal and
Lecturing Knights, Lodge Secretary, Lodge
Treasurer, Lodge Tiler and five year Trustee will be
accepted during our Lodge meeting. February 24 additional
nominations may be accepted and the elections will be
held. The elections and initiation that evening will be
conducted by our PERs.
This is your Lodge, be active in it, be involved in it,
and be positive about it. Bring any new ideas to the
attention of your officers. Make things happen for your
Lodge. Your voice needs to be heard, your actions need to
be seen, and your desire to help move our Lodge forward
needs to be shown.
I would like to thank all of you for your support this
past year. Together we have made a difference. It takes the
efforts of our entire membership to make positive
changes. We have added many new members this year;
let’s keep them interested and active.
We have also made huge strides to bring back our
stray members. Lets finish this Elk year on a positive note;
contact an Elk who may not be active or bring in another
new member. Our strength is in our numbers.
Our goal, as Elks, is to help our community, to assist
those in need, and to have fun while we do it. We need to
have a positive and lasting impression with those in our
community. They need to know what and who Elks are and
what we stand for. Pass the word.
ELKDOM, A 150 YEAR LEGACY, ARE YOU
DOING YOUR PART?
Tim Murray
TRUSTEES MESSAGE
We have the ATM now in the Club
Room; so please everyone use it instead of
going to the bar and asking for cash back
on your card.
We have a new game in the Club
Room - a fun game. The Trustees have a lot
of unfinished business as of now, so all I can say is it is
current and ongoing. Thank you to everyone for all the help on
all the projects that were going on over the holidays.
Lance Wright Trustee Chair
Nominations of officers for 2015-2016 will be held at the
general meeting on February 10.
Elections will be held at the general meeting on February 24.

NEWS FROM THE HOUSE COMMITTEE
The House Committee would like to thank all the volunteer members, guests, and employees who made this
year and the holiday season a success. The Club Room and Dining Room both are doing well. The New Year’s
Eve party and New Year’s Day in the Club Room had good turnouts. Your participation is what makes a
difference and creates a good Lodge.
During the year, the House Committee has attempted to give the members a little something by limiting cover charges on
Friday nights and removing additional drink charges during entertainment. The Lodge has also made significant improvements
to the facilities by adding new shades, carpeting, and reworking the decks.
Below are a couple of reminders of things that need to be followed.
 The Elks Statutes and Dixie Elks House Committee Rules require that a guest must sign in the guest book along
with the sponsoring member. Members are responsible for the guest while visiting the Lodge. When the
sponsoring member leaves, the guest must also leave. It is the responsibility of all Elks to insure that guests and
visiting Elks are signed in the guest book. Guest books are located at the front entry and by the door of the Club
Room (bar area). If you don’t find a guest book, see the Club Room bartender.
 Access to the Lodge is through the front entry. Other entries are intended for on-duty workers and emergencies.
The entry doors are to be kept closed unless attended by an entry control person. There is a key card access for
members just to the right of the entry door. If not a member or a visiting Elk, a buzzer is located next to the door.
Lodge members should have their membership cards with them while at the Lodge. Members, guests and visiting
Elks are required to have government issued identification showing proof of age when in the Club Room or having
an alcoholic beverage. Minors are not allowed in the Club Room.
The House Committee and employees thank you for your support.

Girl Scouts Changes The Lives of Girls.
The Girl Scouts of Utah are very
proud and happy to have found a
sponsorship in Elk Lodge 1743. Until
this time there have been no service
clubs, businesses or churches that
have sponsored Girl Scout Troops in
St. George area. The Elks have shown
themselves to be leaders.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the largest organization
for girls in the world and was charted by United States
Congress in 1950. Girl Scouts empowers girls and
helps teach values such as honesty, fairness, courage,
compassion, character, sisterhood, confidence, and
citizenship through activities including camping,
community service, learning first aid, and earning
badges by acquiring practical skills. The Girl Scout
mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and
character, who make the world a better place. Girls
experience activities in science and technology,
business economic literacy, outdoor and environment
awareness, fun and friendships while at the same time
foster development of leadership skills and self-esteem
On Thursdays between 5 and 7:30 pm you may
see them in their uniforms at the Elks Lodge. They will
be girls from Troop 717 and Troop 71. Ask them for a
Girl Scout Handshake. If you know of any girls
interested in Girl Scouting, please contact:
Mary Weissman 435-656-0769.

The Dixie Ladies of Elks
From the President Rebecca Yager
Happy New Year to all of you! Our first event of the new year was Winter Luncheon. What
a wonderful time we had. The prime time dancers performed, and we had a delicious lunch.
Thanks Cindi for another well-planned event. As I write this, we are only two weeks from the
Chinese Auction, one of Lady Elks most important fund raisers.
Soup Night will be held on February 21. Don’t miss the homemade all-you-can-eat
soup, crackers and rolls. There will be a raffle basket as well for you to make a donation and
perhaps win the prize!
It is time for our members to consider running for an office or chairing an event for the
next fiscal year. Our organization has always been very strong, creating lasting friendships
over the years. The joy and rewards of serving in LOE raising funds for so many worthwhile
charities is immeasurable. It takes all of our efforts and ideas to have a successful year.
Please say yes when the nominating committee contacts you.

Happy New Year
Do not want to say "out with the old
and in with the new----cause we love
to see the old (familiar), and see the
new come join us for a fun profitable day. You can
make a buck or two and help support the
scholarship fund that helps our youth bowlers.
What a good feeling that is at the end of the year
when we can present a check to a young person
who is trying to enhance their future.
Jack Bockwalts and Elizabeth Sustain were the
Hi Money winners. It took five people to finally
get the Strike Pot, and the lucky (skilled maybe)
two were Elizabeth Sustsin and Keith Jones.
The Lucky 13 was not gotten and the pot will
be bigger this month. Hope to see new and old
(familiar) faces on February 15. It is appreciated if
you are there by 1 pm as we start assigning lanes at
that time. The bowling starts at 2 pm.
