ELK'S CREED
Believe in the goodness in thyself as well as in others.
Protect childhood with tenderness, old age with respect, cherish with reverence
the memory of those who have passed.
Observe faithfully the golden rule.
Enjoy the good things of earth. Keep within thee the Glorious shine of youth and remain always of good cheer.
A Message from the Grand Exalted Ruler
Hon. Bryan R. Klatt
Grand Lodge Convention coming up quickly
This year Flag Day is on Sunday, June 14. This is an important mandatory service for the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
It is also a great way to involve local Scout groups and JROTC teams. Invite veterans to attend and participate during the ceremony. As a token of the day, the Lodge could distribute lapel flag pins. Our respect and reverence of the flag is precious to us as Elks, and we need to display the flag with dignity.
Father’s Day is on Sunday, June 21. My father is an Elk, and he started the legacy for me and my sons. I am proud to say that I got my dedication to service from what I saw my father do. On this day, if possible, thank the dads in your life.
Next month will be our Grand Lodge Convention! The convention will take place from Sunday, July 5, until Wednesday, July 8, in Chicago, Illinois. Are you planning on attending? We hope you are!
If you are attending, take advantage of all the wonderful seminars, meetings, and ceremonies. Visit the exhibit hall with vendor booths, and/or spend time talking with the State Major Project booths who provide information on their proposals.
Better yet, you could just meet and talk to Elks from across America and Members who are coming together to discuss and swap their best ideas to Be The Difference in promoting Elks Care—Elks Share.
It feels like last week I was installed, but this has been an amazing honor and privilege to serve you and our great Order as Grand Exalted Ruler, and Susan as your First Lady, for 2025-2026. Thank you and God bless all.
Always remember to Be The Difference by promoting “Elks Care—Elks Share.”
Our 33 delinquent members should be finding their second dues notices in their mail boxes soon – please pay your dues!
The Lodge voted to award Life Membership to Stephen Wirth at our May 20 meeting. It is well deserved – congratulations, Stephen!
There are quite a few things happening in June – pick something and enjoy serving others!
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need assistance with all things Elk. See you at the Lodge!
