Santa and his elves:  Mike Williams, Lucy Leonard, and Greg Mills hosted our annual Childrens Christmas Party on Sunday afternoon, December 9, 2018, from 4:30 on.  Santa gave out presents to each child in attendance.  A jolly old time was had by all.  Merry Christmas to all.

The New Jersey Food Bank along with The Other Fellow Foundation sponsored a food driver on Sunday, Nov. 18, 2018, on Union Place in Summit.  Summit Auxiliary Police was on hand to direct traffic.  The Summit Diner provided hot coffee and tea.  Natale's Summit Bakery donated donuts for all the volunteers and those that stopped to make a donation.  Everyone went home feeling that they did a good thing assisting those in need.  See picture of Bill Rapp and Lou DeSocio attached.

#GivingTuesday may have passed, but the spirit of giving is still alive!

This week, the ENF celebrated #GivingTuesday— a nationally recognized day of giving back. After the excitement of Black Friday and Cyber Monday savings, are you ready to give back this holiday season?

Sunday, November 11, 2018, is Veterans Day. At the eleventh minute of the 11th hour of this day we should all take a minute to remember our veterans, especially those who sacrificed all so that we can live in a free society. 

To commemorate our veterans I am attaching below how the Elks started what is now the Veterans Administration.  See below:

Read DD Vince Ditta's important message on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2018.  We should all honor our Veterans for their sacrifices above and beyond the call of duty.

Read DD Rochford's moving message of what Elks do to help our Veterans, especially those that are homeless or newly moved into permanent housing.  No vet should be homeless but the Elks have stepped to the plate to help those vets in need.
