Exalted Ruler’s Message It is my sad duty to inform you

of the passing of Past Exalted

Ruler Joe Grillo, Sr. I wish to

thank all the Officers past and

present who helped perform the

Ritual and all the members that

attended the wake. He will be

missed.

I thank all who helped out with

the Lodge clean up. It looks

much better. This year we had

hamburgers and hot dogs for

Armed Forces Day. Thanks to

all that made this happen. It is

what Elkdom is about.

Our Lodge marched in the

Glastonbury Memorial Day

Parade. If you were not there

you missed a great time. A big

thank you to those who were

there.

The annual fishing derby is on

June 10th and we will have the

Flag Day Ceremony on June

14th. Did you know that the

Elks started Flag Day? Learn

more about the Elks at

www.elks.org , www.ctelks.org

and our Lodge site http://

glastonburyelks.org.

Thank you to the Breakfast

Committee, the number of at-

tendees keeps getting better and

the food is great. Make sure you

stop by when it resumes in the

fall. Friday night dinners have

been good and thanks to all who

prepared and those that attend-

ed. Have you been to a restau-

rant lately? Did you note the

prices? Lodge dinners are a bar-

gain and have a “home” feel

you don’t get in a restaurant.

We had a new class come in at

the end of May and another will

be at the end of June. Make sure

you say hi and welcome our

new members and encourage

them to get active.

In last month’s Upstart we be-

gan the “Committee Corner”

which lists committee chairman,

and their contact information. I

am proud to announce it was

well received by membership as

many of the committee chairs

have been contacted.

So make sure you take up my

challenge.

Elk of the Month

Jory Pagliughi

Recently the Trustees reached

out to Jory for his guidance/

support in replacing the 1,000

gallon under ground oil tank.

Jory made it possible to com-

plete the project on time and

well under budget as he didn’t

charge the Lodge for his time.

Thank you Jory!

Grounds Committee One project down, many to go! The

retaining wall has been completed near

the back door. I moved it back about

four feet in hopes of moving the pro-

pane tank from its current position. I

will work with the trustees in regard to

this project.

Now with this one out of the way, I’d like to concentrate on

other projects. As we started last month, my information is

in the “committee corner.” Please reach out to me! The

committee could use the help. Thank you!

Attention advertisers! If you don’t see your

ad it is because I haven’t received your

payment. Vouchers were sent out last

month for the 2014-2015 Lodge year.

As you can see we’re doing another initia-

tion on the 25th of June (4th Wednesday). This class will in-

clude all those applications I’ve received to date (May 27th),

and read on the floor of the Lodge. Any application not

read on the floor cannot be considered. More than likely the

Lodge will not be doing another initiation until September.
