At the February Roamers meeting on Feb. 7th we discussed the outings nominated for this year. We came up with 16 places Roamers want to go to. The first outing will be to Fort Bragg, at Promo RV Park, on May 3rd thru the 6th. This is when Fort Bragg has their Rhododendron festival. We have 18 RV’s signed up to go. The next will be to Lewiston Old Bridge RV Park, on May 31th thru June 3rd, with 16 RV’S signed up so far. This is when Lewiston has their peddlers fair. We are actively working on the other places we want to go to. If any Elk members are interested, please feel free to attend our next meeting.

Greetings All!
The weather is chilly and we are clearly in the midst of winter. I want to thank all those individuals who traveled from near and far to participate in the Weekend in the Redwoods. We had a jammed packed Friday night Cook Your Own Steak and a wonderful turnout for the Crab Feed on Saturday. Unfortunately, due to extreme weather conditions we were unable to provide whole crab, fresh from our waters. Kevin Christie did a great job in providing a fabulous seafood dinner as an alternative which included, pick and peel prawns, bay shrimp, oysters and picked crab. It was a wonderful event and we received nothing but positive feedback. I also want to thank Vickie Matthews for her fabulous decorations. Our entryway looked like the gateway to an amazing beachside adventure. The decorations throughout the lodge were amazing. I want to also thank Donna Jordan and Linda Nunes for the beautiful paintings that were raffled off. We had a very successful weekend and so many people need to be thanked for their time, energy and effort to make this a success! THANK YOU!
Please mark your calendars for the upcoming Children’s Easter Party as well as the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. The Lodge Officers will be cooking dinner for all the volunteers as a way to say “Thank you” for all you do! Stay warm and well during these Winter months!
As you can see by reading this edition of Herd Talk, you can tell that February is a busy month. One of the highlights of the month is the Purple Pig dinner, held on Sunday, February 11th. For those of you who have been filling your pigs with coins, this is your chance to bring in your pig and win some prizes. We’ll give out awards for the most Original Purple Pig, the Richest Purple Pig and the Heaviest Purple Pig! And, for all us hams, we’ll have a delicious pork dinner!
The event will begin with cocktails at 4:00 pm and dinner at 5:00 pm. Bring your family and friends and have some fellowship and fun. A big thanks to Shelley from Rendezvous Music for counting up all the cash!
All proceeds from this event will go toward the California-Hawaii Elks’ Major Project which comes to the aid of children with disabilities throughout both states.
