The Elks Lodge is having difficulty filling some of the chairs for this year's operation. For that reason you have not seen a list of officers 91* *. t*h*pdrt dn the installation of officers in this column. Because uf tha, -I appeal to our younger brothers, those that are still under 40, to come forth and let us know why we have not seen you at our meetings. It is a plain and simple fact that if you, the younger brothers, will not come out and make your wishes known, or support our endeavours, there is a good chance that the Lodge will fade away as the older brothers vanish from our place letter to in time. The decisions that need to be made in the near future must be made by more than just a few of our older brothers, as it will be the younger brothers who will have to carry on, or Elkdom in the Olds Lodge No. 100 could cease to exist, and a lot of charities, and worthy causes would suffer. Echoes from the past: Donations in 1946: Wood's Christian Homes - 20.00; Institute for the Blind - 20.00; Home and School Association - 8.00; flowers and fruit for the sick - 68.45; Christmas cheer 24.17. Total - 140.62. Donations - 1947: Christmas tree and hampers - 165.98; donations - 223.00; flowers and etc. 125.00. Total 514.08. As we can see from these figures from just about 45 years ago there was need for the Lodge to help others then, and there will be a need many years in the future. Again I ask, help support us with your attendance at the next meeting. passed away peacefully grandchildren and eight February 8, 1991 at the great-grandchildren.
