“The Pride of our Community”
Dallas Lodge #71 needs a special person to be the chair of the
Public Relations Committee. We will work on building, managing and maintaining a positive image between Dallas 71 and the
community that will develop favorable rapport and good will.
We will be gathering information about all of our activities that are „newsworthy‟
and see that the community is aware of our good deeds. We want to become very
well known and attract new members to help us in meeting our goal—to be the
pride of our community!
Help this Lodge by calling with your suggestions, by telling us your ideas or even
offering to help just spread our news that “Elks Care, Elks Share” throughout the
neighborhood.
The “Pride of our Community”.
ESTEEMED LEADING
KNIGHT
Robert Wilburn
We hear each day about the instability and uncertainty in many places in
the world. Our own country has many
problems that make our own future
uncertain. With all the things occurring, we as Elks must continue to serve
our nation and community to the best
of our abilities. Our organization has a
tradition of facing the challenges of
difficult times. In the 2011-2012 year,
we should be steadfast in our tradition
of supporting our active military personnel and veterans, protecting our
flag, and supporting the charities of
Elkdom. No effort or contribution is
too small; just always do the best you
can.
ESTEEMED LOYAL
KNIGHT
John Belew
The installation of officers for the
year was a great event. Thanks to all
who worked so hard to make it successful. The food and the dance were
enjoyed by everyone. I encourage all
members and especially our new members to attend all of our activities.
Our Lodge is a great place for meeting our fellow members for fellowship
and the joy of sharing in our charitable
functions.
Thanks to our PERs for their help in
training of new officers in learning the
rituals.
Hope everyone had a great Easter.
ESTEEMED LECTURING
KNIGHT
Marion A McDaniel
Just a few words to say “WOW” and
to say thanks to the members for their
confidence in electing me to be the Esteemed Lecturing Knight. This is all
new to me but with the help and support
of the officers and members I will try to
serve my station in the high standards
set by the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks. I am looking forward to
the rest of the year and what it will
bring, and hoping to see all of you at the
monthly meetings, and other events.
Thanks again for your confidence in
me.

Thomas Trujillo from ‘”One Soldiers Dream” is the soldier who
is walking across America to help
our veterans. Thomas started his
journey in Santa Monica, CA and
plans to end it in our Nation’s Capital, Washington DC. We were honored with his visit to our Lodge on
Thursday, April 21st. Pictured

Reservist and fellow Elk) and Bob

HOW WE SPENT
YOUR MONEY
John Dillon
Many members and ladies have donated time and money to the Lodge in
an effort to make it a place of which we
can be proud. One group has labored
long and hard to wash the walls in the
Lounge, Dining Room and hallways to
spruce up their appearance.
Some of the monetary donations covered the cost of upgrading from 30 amp
to 50 amp service to the RV parking
area to accommodate larger motor
homes, and that investment is returning
money to the Lodge 15875 through increased rental fees. (continued )
Russell Scott, PER, and his lovely
wife Robin looking festive and
party-fied at a recent function at
the Lodge.
(Continued from previous column)
The PERs paid to replace the cracked
window on the old game room, and
John Belew donated funds to replace
two windows in the Dining Room.
$4,000 of donated funds covered the
repairs to the swimming pool required
by the City. Over $2,000 was spent to
repair the fire sprinkler system, and for
re-inspection required by the City.
It‟s amazing how much can be accomplished when we work together for
the good of our Lodge.
I don‟t know about you, but this
Lodge is my second home, and it‟s
members are like my family. I hope
many of you feel the same way.
Walt and Shirley Thomas adding
to the glamour of the occasion.
In my April 2011 Elks Press article, I
gave 430 as the possible membership
at the end of the March 31, 2011 year
end, which would give us an increase
of plus one for the year. Currently,
that is the total, and excluding any bad
luck on several transfer requests made
just prior to March 31, 2011, we
should remain at 430.
Regardless of the outcome, responsible Elks did their best this past year to
maintain and increase our membership.
Each of you, who brought in new
members, should feel proud of your
efforts to help this great organization.
I personally thank you.
We currently have several applications in process for our first 2011-2012
initiation at the May 24th meeting. In
2011-2012, we need to continue our
success in maintaining the membership
of Dallas Lodge #71. The Lodge has
been here for 123 years, so let‟s work
hard to ensure it‟s presence in the
hands of good responsible Elks for
many more years.

HELP WANTED!!!
The Jolly Boys are a group of “jolly”
guys that, twice a week, work at your
Lodge spring, summer, fall and winter
keeping the lawn and doing minor
maintenance work to the building and
campus. The current crew needs your
help. The pay is excellent (coffee and
doughnuts after work each morning),
and camaraderie that can‟t be beat.
We meet every Wednesday morning
at 8:00, and every Saturday at 7:00.
We welcome you at both or just one
session per week. Call either Nick
Jantzen at 214-348-3200 or Al Tyler at
214-341-0806, or just show up either
Wednesday or Saturday morning. No
special skill is necessary, but all special abilities can be put to good use.

prepared for fellowship with old
friends, and to make new friends. We
hope that you‟ll be as excited as we
are, and that you‟ll bring all your family and friends.
IMPORTANT!
PLEASE READ!
Bill Shipp, Secretary
Our Order and Lodge have a large
body of law that governs membership
and operations of our Lodge. It is very
difficult for a member to be familiar
with all of these rules and regulations,
but there are two that need emphasis at
this time:
(1) Do not loan your membership
card to anyone at any time. There are
no exceptions to this rule.
(2)
Elks who have been dropped
from the rolls are not eligible to come to
the Lodge except to apply for reinstatement. If you plan to bring guests, it is
your responsibility to determine if they
are eligible.
Adherence to these rules will help us
avoid unnecessary situations that are
embarrassing to all involved.

Brothers and Sisters,
The Fort Worth Lodge received an email this morning from Russ Dorsey, the
bandleader, that Charlie Patteson passed away Friday evening, April 15th.
Many of you will remember him from past years, when Charlie and his orchestra with the big band sound, played at places around town including Guys and
Dolls, Wintergarden, plus the Dallas and Fort Worth Elks Lodges. Charlie was
also the band instructor for many years at McLean Middle School in Fort Worth,
where he became acquainted with my deceased husband, PER Jack Ross of Fort
Worth #124. In fact, some of you will remember that Charlie played lovely medleys on his clarinet at Jack's funeral, which was five and a half years ago.
The services were on Thursday, April 21st at Greenwood in Ft. Worth.

Spring is here, and we are so glad
the cold weather is over. Time for
everyone to get out and go camping.
As usual, the Winstar trip was a success. Everyone won a little money,
and the weather was good. Lots of
good conversations, games, food
and times. We had a good turnout
with 23 people and 11 rigs.
Friday night was a catfish dinner,
and we went for fried pies afterwards. Saturday was the Medal of
Honor Parade with 14 recipients attending. More plans are being made
for future trips. All ideas are welcome. If you are interested in joining our group please contact Frank

SICKNESS AND DISTRESS
Margaret Lievsay
Acting with grace and kindness toward others is one of the best ways to
show you are a good Elk. Ed Sherry has
had his heart surgery. The doctors were
not able to do what they hoped to do,
but Ed came through just fine, and is
doing fairly well, and will be going
home soon.
Doris Patterson had a heart attack on
April 9th. She spent a few days in the
hospital, but is home now and doing
fine.
Diann Sanders spent a couple of days
in the hospital with chest pains, but is
fine now.
Wilson Manuel was in the hospital in
Bryan for a few days with a serious infection, and ishome now doing well.
Pat Raabe is also home now from the
hospital.
JoAnn Lindsey is still waiting to hear
from the doctors as to when she will be
able to have the lung procedure she has
been waiting on for some time.
Keep all these people in your prayers.
Let them know you are thinking of
them. It means so much. God‟s blessings on each one of you and let‟s keep
in touch.

What dear, dear friends we have at the

a great lady and will be missed terribly.
Many thanks to all of you.

MIS-USE OF THE POOL
Marvin Ray Burt
John Dillon
My name is Marvin Ray Burt. I
grew up in “Wide Awake Wylie” Texas. After high school I went to college
in Rome, Italy. The field trips were
fantastic! Shortly after that I joined the
U.S. Navy and attached to the U.S.S.
Dwight D. Eisenhower where I worked
on the flight deck until landing a job in
the Public Affairs Department. My
next gig was for Princess Cruises
where I worked as an Assistant Cruise
Director. It was one of the most fun
experiences of my life and they paid
me to do it!
I found an opportunity to go back to
college and finish what I started. My
immediate goal is to obtain an Associate‟s Degree in order to become a
Teacher‟s Assistant.
I look forward to serving as the Dallas Elk‟s Lodge #71 Sweetheart. The
theme this year is “Pennies from
Heaven”.
The pool is closed, but some kids
managed to gain access on Friday
evening, April 8th, and were discovered by members at Game Night.
They either climbed the fence or had
access to a members card. Anyone
caught using the pool will be required
to produce identification, and will be
reported to the police for trespassing.
DO NOT LEND YOUR CARD TO
ANYONE! Letting others use your
card could result in loss of your privileges.

Vivian Wilburn
The Ladies Installation was a beautiful event, thanks to the hard work
of Chairman Barbara Everts and Conductress Fran Kickirillo. Dick
Reed also did a great job photographing the installation. And thank you,
Ladies, for the beautiful pins presented to me by Outgoing President,
Diane Reed, one of which has been passed down to each Dallas Elks
Lady President for many, many years. I am honored to wear this pin that so many dedicated and hard-working ladies have worn.
Vice President Bettie Newman has been busy scheduling our events this year. Of course,
we will have our annual Luau and Country & Western Dances. We have a very special
entertainer for our Fall Luncheon, and our Spring Style Show Luncheon is always fun. A
50s Dance and a Mardi Gras Ball will complete our social calendar. It will be a challenging and rewarding year!
Please pay your $15.00 annual dues, if you haven‟t already, (add $1.50 if you would like
your yearbook mailed to you.).

DID YOU KNOW...
Rose Munro was born in Detroit, Michigan, and moved to Garland, Texas in June 1980 on the first day of the infamous heat
wave. She has had only 4 different addresses in her whole life.
She and Don met at Parents Without Partners in Livonia, Michigan, and will be married 36 years this month. They have 4 boys,
4 daughters-in-law, 2 grandsons, 2 granddaughters, 1 step grandson, 1 step great granddaughter and 1 step great grandson.
After working 20 years for Trinity Universal Insurance Co.,
she retired on March 31, 2006, and joined the 71 Steppers 4 days later. She has
enjoyed line dancing ever since. Since Don still works full time, their travel time
is limited. They enjoy bus trips, and have been to 45 states and also Scotland, Ireland, Amsterdam, and Belgium. While in Belgium, they were able to visit a little
village where Rose‟s dad was born in 1906. It was quite a thrill.
Many years ago, she played the accordion, and with her brother on drums, and a
cousin on the sax, they played for many Belgian dances. She is serving her 4th
time as Historian for the Dallas Elks Ladies. Her hobbies are quilting and machine
embroidery. Rose and Don have been affiliated with the Dallas Elks Lodge since
March 1998, and have enjoyed every minute of it.
