Lodge Activities This Year, Howell Lodge is entering a Grand Lodge contest called “Community Service & Image Contest”. The contest runs through March 2001 and cooperation of all Committee Chairpersons is necessary. Every function, event or activity, please copy me with information, pictures and reports. Every committee will be represented and requires everyone’s support. This will be the first time our Lodge has entered this contest and I hope to do really well with all that we do. Let’s all work together! Please send ma anything you can! Connie Cantwell, Chairperson, Lodge Activities (Email ConnieC929@aol.com) Handicapped Children Sorry for missing the last few issues of the Howler, so I guess its time to bring you all up to date. The Committee has been hard at work planning and taking part at District and Lodge programs. First activity of the New Year was our 2nd Annual Chinese Auction. Over 60 people attended and over $1,100.00 was raised. Thanks to all members for your support. The Jersey Shore marathon was next, over 90 teams took part. The weather was horrible, windy, rainy and cold but still all teams took part with over $15,000.00 was raised for Special Olympics. On May 11th, the Committee met to plan for the Special Olympics and discuss requests for funding. The Committee will bring to the floor for approval. The Special Olympics were held May 13 at Long Branch High. Twenty one committee members took part all had a great time, along with the Special Children. Special thanks to all Committee members, for all your hard work, without you this committee would be useless. Rich Thomas, Chairman, HCC Community Activities On April 22nd, The Community Activities Committee delivered 6 Easter Baskets filled with groceries and household goods to senior citizens of Howell Twp. Each senior was also presented with a potted plant. Thanks to all who helped, our delivery crews, Pete, Kelly and James Schott, Darlene, Nicole, Erica and Amanda Fortier. And to the best basket stuffers, Austin & Cindy McCabe, THANKS!On May 6th, Howell Lodge members along with family and friends made a road trip to the Bronx to see the New York Yankees. Despite a few setbacks, (terrible traffic and unbearable heat), everyone had a great time. Marge, next time the seats will be on the lower level and Debbie, you should keep a better eye on Timmy—that was not nice letting him get lost! As we all know, May 14th was Mothers Day and the Community Activities Committee hosted a “Mothers Day Breakfast”. Attendance was a little low, but I would like to thank everyone who treated their MOM’s and families to a great morning. Many hours were spent getting ready for this day and I would like to express my thanks to some members and family for their help in making my job much easier. Austin and Darlene, thanks for the long hours. Thanks to Greg Gusk, Pete Schott, Greg Scarlato and the 2 girls working the door, Nicole and Erica. Thank you Marge and Nick Semersky for always helping out. Dave Gusk, Chairman Community Activities |

National Veterans Service Commission On April 15th, the Veterans Committee paid a visit to Victorian Gardens Nursing home for an Easter Social. We treated over 40 Veterans to a catered lunch prepared by Corsi’s. Each Vet was presented with an Easter Basket filled with candy and then the Committee presented the home with a boom box radio, clothing and books. Following lunch, all residents of the home were entertained by the very talented dancers from the Ocean Center of Performing Arts while munching on candy, cookies and refreshments. Their performance was enjoyed by everyone! Thank you girls and Nicole Woitkowski. The day was enjoyed by all because of the caring, support and help of our Exalted Ruler Ken and Candy, Bob Andrews, Marge Semersky, Austin McCabe, Bob Heater, Carol Borucki and Jim Slendorn. Thank you all. On Saturday, May 20th, we visited the Viet Nam Memorial in Holmdel. The Committee laid a wreath in honor of those who fell in combat for Armed Services Day. Special recognition plaques were presented in honor of Lcp. Paul Handerhan, PFC John Barca and PFC John Byrnes. Very special thanks to the over 30 Elks and friends who braved the inclimate weather to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our way of life. For God & Country, Debbie Sexton, Chairperson, Veterans Committee |

Youth Activities Spring Soccer Shoot On April 29th, the Howell Elks Youth Activities Committee sponsored the open to all boys and girls through the age of 13. The shoot was held at the Howell Pinelanders Youth Soccer Club Fields from 9:00 A.M. through 1:00 P.M. This year's turnout was one of the best yet with approximately 140 kids in the 4 age groups competing. We are currently in the process of scheduling the fall Shoot Out with the Howell Soccer Club. The first place winners in each age group will go on to the Elks District Shoot in the fall. The winners will be announced shortly after the fall shoot out is completed. I want to thank Ken Kinelski, President of the Pinelanders Youth Soccer Club and his volunteers for making this event a success; it is really a pleasure to work with them. The Pinelanders always treat us with the best hospitality. Thanks also to all the Elks and the other helpers who volunteered their time and services in making this a success, including ER Ken and Candy Chittick, PER Bob and Linda Lutkiewicz, Bill and Patty Gray, Gene and Sue Pilot, Debbie Sexton, Nick Semersky, Bob Lawson, Tom Blum, Nick Tsoukalis, and my wife, Kathy. Special thanks to our young ball chasers and goal keepers, the 2 Kelly's, Sexton, and Schott along with James Schott who made his ball chasing debut this year. Very special thanks Austin McCabe for soliciting the donation of the letters for the kick board and for supervising the lettering of the kick board with the utmost of precision. Well, except for the one crooked 5. Again, thanks to all the volunteers, without you we would not be able to do any of the Community and Youth related events that we do. I am looking forward to working with you on the other activities planned throughout the year. Pete Schott, Howell Elks Youth Activities Chairman. |
