April, our first month of our Elks year, produced a Non Cash Donation total of $13,275, our Cash Donation was $120.
With all the requests for the purchase of raffle tickets and donations, that hit our members walking into the lodge, the Veterans Committee has decided to hold off on restarting our Monthly 50/50 raffle sales till the fall.
We had a wonderful turnout of people at our second annual Dart Tournament on April 20th! A BIG Thank You to all who participated in the tournament and to those of you who bought raffle tickets and bid on items in the Silent Auction! Your generous support for our veterans brought in $4,542 for our veterans! I want to take this opportunity to thank the Dart Tournament team for the months of hard work, soliciting donations, creating signage, making and moving displays and your successful ticket sales. Finally, for the excellent management of the tournament and distribution of all the prizes. I will not try to name anyone on that team for fear of missing someone. However, you know who you are and your efforts are truly the work of dedicated Elks, passionate about serving our veterans! Thank you all!
Our homeless veterans are constantly in need of Undershorts and T-shirts (Med, Lg, XL), Jeans ( W 33, 34, 36) and Socks. Please place any NEW items in the green barrel in the lounge and USED items in the pod in the front of the lodge.
As always, a big thank you for your continued support for our veterans!

I’m excited to announce that our lodge has two more programs
designed to support our military and veterans.
The first program is Recycle Cell Phones for our troops. Since 2004
this organization has recycled over 30 million devices, and have
provided over 400 million free minutes by sending more than 5 million
calling cards to our service personnel overseas.
You can donate by dropping your used cell phones at the lodge or
providing cash or a check (made out to Catalina Mountain Elks Lodge
#2815) in an envelope marked for veterans committee in the Cell
Phone box in the lounge.
Our second program is through an organization called Intrepid
Hospice. They are looking for volunteers willing to spend 30 to 45
minutes with those who have a short time left here on earth. One of
the worst fears everyone experiences during this dying process is
dying alone. You can make a difference.
Veterans are welcome! You know what’s in the heart of those who
have served our country and seen others give their lives in this
service. If you would like more information, or to sign up, please give
Lee Swengel, Intrepid House Chaplain a call at 682-777-5559.

Mesothelioma life expectancy is a prediction a doctor makes regarding how long a patient can expect to live after a mesothelioma diagnosis. The average life expectancy for mesothelioma is 12-21 months. However, many people live longer than this depending on their mesothelioma type, stage at diagnosis, and overall health. Doctors work with patients to improve their life expectancy through personalized treatment plans.
My name is David Sides and I'm a member of the Outreach Department for The Pleural Mesothelioma Center.
Countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening illnesses that are a result of exposure to asbestos, a material that was commonly used in hundreds of military applications, products, and ships because of its resistance to fire. Veterans who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma even qualify for special benefits from the U.S Department of Veteran Affairs.
We recently published an educational guide about pleural mesothelioma, the most common type of mesothelioma.
