WE ARE HAPPY YOU JOINED OUR FAMILY! Welcome

Welcome to our new Members! James Fox, Ashley Pferschy, Lonnie Rose, Debbie Young, Janet Hirst, Judy Hirst, & Thomas Paulus

Dedicating time for the Elks sometimes can be challenging. But I know that we are doing the best we can. Volunteering your time to help make someone’s life a little easier is what the Elks are all about.

In 2020 it would be great to see more people “step up to the plate” and pitch in. Help is always needed around the Lodge, especially when it comes to Lodge events.

In my time of being a Member of this great Lodge, I had the pleasure of meeting some very fine people, many who helped and guided me throughout my journey in Elkdom. For this I am truly grateful.

Remember keep Elkdom in your heart
