JULY 2016 NEWSLETTER
BENEVOLENT PROTECTION ORDER OF ELKS
Exalted Ruler
Ed Furbee
WOW its July already, I want to thank every member for their participation. Participation occurs on many levels.
Just as all of us joined for our own distinct reason we all participate at different levels. Each is important.
We have members who no longer live in the area but continue to pay dues here. We also have members who live
locally and do not get to enjoy the Lodge as much as perhaps they would like. I, for one, appreciate that they continue their membership because their dues help fund the work we do around here as well as help maintain the fine
facility we are blessed to call “home.”
We have members who patronize the lounge on a regular basis. Again, we are so fortunate to have a lounge where no one has to volunteer to keep it open. We have a professional staff that takes care of us. So many Lodges do not have what we have. They are not open
seven days a week like we are. Think about that, we have a professionally staffed food & beverage operation seven days a week where
some Lodge are not even open during the week. I actually was told from visiting Elks of a Lodge that only opens for meetings and special occasions. Thank you to those members who
support the lounge.
2016-2017 Officers
We have members who work committees. One of
the most encouraging things to me this year has
been people who have remained in their committee
as it is important area to them and to several who
have stepped up to help usher us into the future.
Members who come to the Board and Lodge meetings are very special to me. As I have said many
times the officers have been entrusted with the care
of the Lodge however we are still human. I love
when members come to Board Meetings to see
what is going on. I love that members are taking
advantage of the unified e-mail address for the
board ([email protected] ) to express their
thoughts and concerns. Please outnumber the officers in the Lodge Meetings
No matter what level you participate at I appreciate
the fact you have chosen to be an Elk and to be an
Elk here at Nashville-Franklin Lodge #72. Thank you
for the privilege you permit me of calling you my

Thank You for Your Blood !!!
I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who signed up and donated. We had 34 brave
souls sign up and 28 of us were
able to give. That 1 pint that you
donated can save up to 3 lives. Plus, summer donations are in higher demand so we did a mo' better job. The Red Cross said that 28 usable pints
way exceeds their expectations for a group who
has only donated once before. So again, we did a
mo' better job. We are shooting to have another
drive on the first viable Saturday in January so
save that blood. Thank you again to everyone
who stuck it out (no pun intended) and helped to
save lives. That is the true meaning of Brotherly
Love
Fraternally,
Mike Press Loyal Knight

They provided tables, a podium and lovely refreshments for

us. A big Thank you to Commander David Pratt and the fellow VFW members who assisted us again this year by carrying the flags and preforming the narration. Thanks also to Steve Parsons, Joe Barbieri, Cindy Deal, Rusty
Culp and Steve Lineberry. I appreciate all of your help more than words can say.
I also want to thank everyone who participated in the yard sale. We did not have as big a turnout as I had
hoped but we did have some sales and we made $60.00 for a Soldiers Child. We will have a sign-up sheet
in the lounge for next months sale on July 9th. If you have any questions you can E-mail at [email protected] or call me at 615-218-1206
Fraternally,
Lucia Young, Esteemed Leading Knight,
As we enter into summer we are reminded that we as members are fortunate to
have a beautiful pool and supporting locker rooms for all of us to enjoy. It is
important that we treat this area as it is our own. As a courtesy to your fellow
members we respectfully ask that everyone adhere the following:
1.
Close umbrellas when they are not in use. There is a cost to providing umbrellas f
for your comfort and enjoyment. Open umbrellas are vulnerable to wind that at
times will pick them up and damage or destroy them.
2.
Please flush the toilets after use. And please ensure your children to do the
same.
3.
Guests must be signed in and accompanied by members at all times.
4.
Pickup your trash before leaving the pool area. Return anything you may have
taken from the lounge including ashtrays, buckets, and coolers.
5.
Discourage your children from running and horseplay in the pool areas. This is a
matter of both safety and respect to your fellow members.
6.
Do not bring alcohol from outside onto the premises. This includes drinks and any
food that is infused with alcohol.
7.
Drink responsibly.
8.
Do not leave cigarettes butts on the concreate. Do not toss cigarette butts into
the yard.
9.
Do not bring glass containers into the pool area.
10. Be respectful of your fellow member concerning portable music devices.
These simple rules are intended to bring a more pleasurable experience for all members. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Have a great summer.

Hello Fellow Lodge Members and Friends,
Summer is in full swing and it is HOT!!! Please be safe: stay hydrated and wear
sunscreen.
We have 10 new candidates going through the process and should be fully initiated by the end of July. That is exciting news!
Because we have many new members joining the Lodge, we have instituted a
new process in order to provide a safe environment. You may be asked to show your member ID
when entering the Lodge or pool area. Please do not be insulted or irritated, as this new process is for
your safety. Your children will be issued membership cards for entry into the Lodge or pool area as
well. If your child does not have a membership card, please email me at secretary.elks72@comcast
and request one.
For your information: Your membership card is not just a card for entry into a Lodge
meeting. This card gives you access your home
Lodge, our pool and other Lodges. If you have lost
your membership card, please let me know so I can
issue you a new one.
Member Statistics as of April 1st to present; we
have initiated 13 new members affiliate 1, and Reinstated 3. We currently still have 72 delinquent members. I will be posting the names of the delinquent
members for your review. If you know any of these
members, please reach out to them and find out why?
We would like to know if it is for health or financial
reasons. We are here to make our Lodge and members strong participants.
If someone says, “I love God”, but hates a
fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we
don’t love people we see, how can we love
God, whom we cannot see? And He has
given us this command: Those who love
God must also love their fellow believers.
If you have any questions or concerns, I am here to
help. Please contact me at the email listed above or
text me at 615-275-6610 be sure to tell me who you
are.
See you at the Lodge,
Christine Clemmens, Lodge Secretary
