Members are able to order exactly what they want from the many items on the Big Elk Breakfast or Lunch\/Dinner menu and pay the restaurant directly. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced, with almost all selections $18 and under. The Big Elk staff handle our more than 30 attendees in a timely fashion, and their meeting room is well suited for our club\u2019s needs. There is plenty of parking available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-2\"><strong>Beer and wine are available<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><a href=\"http:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/may-2-registration-form\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4721\">Reserve Here<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Local Food Banks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d like to remind everyone to keep bringing food and cash for the Port Angeles and Sequim food banks. Two food donation boxes are available, one for Sequim and the other for Port Angeles.&nbsp;&nbsp;The most important food items needed throughout the year are canned proteins (tuna, chicken, beans, stews), fruits (canned, dried, applesauce), canned veggies, peanut butter, pasta, cereal, hygiene items (diapers, wipes, soap), and pet food. We have collected 361 pounds of food and $407 thus far. Let\u2019s keep it going at our November Luncheon and help others in our Communities have a better Thanksgiving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KarapostelesC-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KarapostelesC-.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9017\" style=\"width:229px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KarapostelesC-.png 450w, https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/KarapostelesC--232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Our guest speaker this month is Caity Karapostoles, the Administrative Assistant and Finance Specialist at Clallam County Fire District 3. You met Caity last November when she attended our luncheon and passed out refrigerator bottles for personal information. This year she will be discussing services that the department offers other than emergency response. This should be a very interesting discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Any questions about the Monthly Luncheon Event at the Big Elk? <a href=\"&#x4d;&#x61;&#105;l&#x74;&#x6f;&#x3a;&#108;u&#x6e;&#x63;&#x68;&#101;o&#x6e;&#x40;&#x6f;&#108;y&#x6d;&#x70;&#x69;&#99;n&#x65;&#x77;&#x63;&#111;m&#x65;&#x72;&#x73;&#46;o&#x72;&#x67;, &#108;&#117;&#x6e;&#x63;&#104;&#101;&#x6f;&#x6e;&#49;&#64;&#x6f;&#x6c;&#121;&#109;&#x70;&#x69;&#99;&#110;&#x65;&#x77;&#99;&#111;&#x6d;&#x65;&#114;&#115;&#x2e;&#x6f;&#114;&#103;?subject=I Have Some Questions\"><br>Send an Email Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 2026 LUNCHEON Tuesday, November 3, 2026 11:30AM-2:30PM The last day to reserve is&nbsp;Friday, October 30, 2026 The Big Elk Restaurant (Facebook)707 East Washington Street, Sequim, WA 98382 We meet at the Big Elk Restaurant in Sequim for our Luncheons &hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/monthly-luncheon-program\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5870","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5870"}],"version-history":[{"count":108,"href":"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9030,"href":"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5870\/revisions\/9030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olympicnewcomers.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
