WELCOME TO GATEWAY LODGE
"The year that is drawing towards its close, has
been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To
these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget
the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so
extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even
the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence
of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and
severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to
provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order
has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony
has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while
that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies
of the Union.
I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of
the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning
in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November
next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth
in the Heavens.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused
the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth."
~ Abraham Lincoln.

Dear
Member: In 2012, the ENF resolves to continue helping Elks build stronger
communities. You can help! Follow these five New Year's resolutions, and
help us make 2012 our best year yet.
Resolution 1: Use Your Gratitude Grant
Serve your community! Kingsville, Tex.,
Lodge No. 1926 used its Gratitude Grant to provide food and toys to deserving
families during the holidays. Our Lodge can serve our community with a $2,000
Gratitude Grant too by reaching the $4.50 per-capita goal and completing
the application. It's that simple!

Resolution 2: Read the Latest ENF News
Stay current on ENF news by visiting the
ENF website often. ENF posts new stories each week, like this
story of Elks scholar Robert Rossman, whose Most Valuable Student scholarship
enabled him to pursue his dream of studying recording arts.
