Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks Glen Cove New York 11542 ABOUT US GLEN COVE ELKS LODGE #1458 IS ONE OF THE MANY LOCAL LODGES OF THE BENEVOLENT & PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS. AN ELK MEMBER IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO GUIDES THEIR COURSE IN LIFE BY THE CARDINAL PRINCIPLES OF THE ORDER: CHARITY, JUSTICE, BROTHERLY LOVE, AND FIDELITY. THE MOTTO OF THE ORDER IS "THE FAULTS OF OUR MEMBERS WE WRITE UPON THE SAND, THEIR VITUES UPON THE TABLETS OF LOVE AND MEMORY." THE FOUNDATION AND GROUNDWORK OF THE ORDER IS "TO DO UNTO OTHERS AS WE WOULD THEY SHOULD DO UNTO US." THIS YEAR BLOOD MANOR 2003 IS THE LODGE'S 4TH ANNUAL HAUNTED HOUSE. THE LODGE BUILDING IS A HUNDRED YEAR OLD MANSION THAT IS TURNED INTO BLOOD MANOR. THERE ARE OVER 40 SEPARATE SCENES AND OVER 35 LIVE ACTORS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE HAUNTED HOUSE. BLOOD MANOR IS 3 LEVELS OF COLD TERROR. WITH THE SENIOR STAFF OF BLOOD MANOR THE ACTORS ARE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND EFFORT. THE STUDENTS RECEIVE COMMUNITY SERVICE CREDIT FOR THEIR PARTCIPATION. BLOOD MANOR IS VERY FORTUNATE TO OBTAIN THE SERVICES OF THE TERRORZONE. JIM FARO HAS OVER 20 YEARS OF SCARING PEOPLE. HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND LIGHTING OF SCENES ARE TRULY REMARKABLE AND HORRIFIC. WITH OVER 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE MIKE RODRIGUEZ IN BUILDING ANIMATRONICS WILL MAKE ANYBODY'S HAIR STAND UP. AS YOU TOUR BLOOD MANOR YOU WILL BE STARTLED, BUT, YOU WILL ALSO BE LAUGHING AT THE MEMBERS OF YOUR GROUP. THE LODGE USES THE FUNDS FROM BLOOD MANOR TO PROMOTE ITS YOUTH, DRUG, VETERAN, AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, LAST YEAR THE LODGE PROVIDED 35 THANKSGIVING DINNERS FOR LOCAL UNDERPRIVILEGED FAMILIES AND PROVIDED THE CITY OF GLEN COVE WITH NEW FLAGS. |
