August has been a great month, We started out the month by participating in the Camp Carefree Motorcycle run, as over 50 Motorcycles roared into the Elks Lodge parking lot, they were greeted by our very patriotic children waving flags with smiling faces.  As the riders visited our lodge, they were treated to a meal of our “Lodge favorite” Barbeque chicken.  Thanks goes out to Greg Conner, Adam Pallaci, Laura Durr, Johnny “P”, Monica Pallaci, and Robert Daniels for their help in feeding 100 bikers in less than 40 minutes. I would also like to thank Angie Conner and our Ladies auxiliary for coordinating the charitable activities for the children.  After the day was over our Lodge was able to make another sizable donation to Camp Carefree.
 
The West Central District had our first District Deputy Clinic in Salisbury NC on August 15th, Our Lodge was well represented, We had 6 officers, 3 PER’s and 3 guests in attendance.  The High Point Elks Lodge #1155 Received an award for the “best Lodge” in the Dristrict this year, and our trophy is currently on display in the Lounge, this is a great acomplishment and our members should be very proud.
 
As summer winds down and our pool season comes to an end, I hope to see everyone at our upcoming events this fall, The NFL and college football games will be underway and our grille will be cooking up some great food for the season. 

See you there,
