THE ROLLING ELKS
DECEMBER 2024
At our November meeting, we welcomed guests Sharon Beall and Bonne Covert. Discussion was held, explaining what we are all about and what hosting a campout entails. It was reported that a good time was had at our final campout of the year at Remote Outpost. Our campouts for the 2025 year are set, except for the months of April and June. The list will be posted in next months Spike. Our Christmas Party will be on Sunday, December 8th, starting at 3:00. Tina Johnson suggested we meet for a game night during the winter months’ when we don’t have a campout. Sharon Armstrong reminded members that there is a fun Trivia Night at the lodge on the 1st and 3rd Saturday. Anniversary wishes went out to Ruben and Shirley Navarro (35 yrs), Bruce and Becky Andrade (35 yrs) and John and Sharron de Montigny
(56 yrs). Sharon Armstrong won the 50/50 drawing and Joanne Leggio closed the meeting with a couple of jokes.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ROLLING ELKS:
The Rolling Elks is a group of Florence members who share the interest of RV travel and camping out or “Glamping”. We currently have 35 member rigs. We meet the first Wednesday of each month at the Florence Elks Lodge at 3:30. p.m. and generally have 30+ members in attendance.
Don’t have an RV? Most of the campgrounds we visit have tent sites, cabins or even Yurts available!
March through November you’ll find us enjoying quick trips, 3-4 days, to local beaches and campgrounds or even a multi-stop outing. Our volunteer Hosts/Wagonmasters plan and lead trips of all types and venues. Membership doesn’t require your attendance at every event.
Being a Wagonmaster or Host of a campout is primarily finding an RV Park location and reserving spaces for our group. It is not required that the hosts have a structured itinerary.
The Rolling Elks are on the move again! Wagonmasters are stepping up and campouts are being planned.
