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 10 th and we will have the Flag Day Ceremony on June 14 th. Did you know that the Elks started Flag Day? Learn more about the Elks at and our Lodge site glastonburyelks.org. Thank you to the Breakfast Committee, the number of attendees 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 attended. Have you been to a restaurant lately? Did you note the prices? Lodge dinners are a bargain 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 began 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. Mon. Thurs. 4 PM 8 PM Friday 3 PM 10 PM Saturday Noon 9 PM Sunday Noon 7 PM Permittee: Mark Hudak glastonburyelks.org 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.
