Happy Holidays! Beth and I extend to each of you a safe
and enjoyable holiday season, and a happy, prosperous, and
successful new year.
While schedules become crowded with social and family
engagements, we should remember our duties to one anoth-
er as Elks. The holiday season is the loneliest time of year
for many of our Members. For many reasons, they find
themselves alone, and a lack of social opportunities is un-
doubtedly a large part of the heightened levels of depres-
sion experienced during this time of year.
As Elks, we should be mindful of those Members we have-
n’t seen in a while, or who don’t have anyone special in
their lives. Try to reach out, to find out how Members are
doing and if the Lodge can help with getting them to events.
A simple phone call or visit may be the greatest gift some
of our Members will ever want.
The Elks Memorial Service, to be held this year on Sunday,
December 1, is a time to remember our departed Members.
It falls under part of my slogan for the year, “Honoring the
Past.” It is a time to remember the people who brought our
Lodges and Order to the heights they have reached.
Of course, it is also important to be mindful that the service
is not just for our Members who remain among us, but also
for the spouses and friends of our departed Members who
may attend and who will appreciate a dignified and well-
prepared event to honor the memory of their loved ones.
Let’s give it our best!
As I close this message, it goes without saying that the holi-
day season can be a time for alcohol consumption, and it
falls on each of us to do our very best to keep consumption
within limits. Unfortunately, our Order continues to be con-
fronted with liquor liability lawsuits arising from our Lodg-
es that are not diligent in monitoring the over-serving of
alcohol. For the sake of everyone—Members, guests, and
even strangers — let’s all do our part to keep the holiday
season safe.
