Greetings Members all,

Fresh off an amazing Spring State Convention, I figured there was no better time to put pen to paper (or in this case, fingertips to keyboard).  First thing, I can’t encourage you enough to attend an Elks convention.  You do not need to be an officer to attend, and they are an amazing opportunity to get some training, pick the minds of other lodges about what works/doesn’t work and also just to un-wind and socialize.  You will definitely leave the convention with some re-charged batteries.  

We have a great summer planned at the lodge and I hope to see all of you this summer at some point.  So just a teaser of what’s to come this summer: Grand Opening, Summer Solstice party, End of Summer BBQ…………...plus much more! 

But as always, we are more than just social events.  We will have some great chances to do a lot of good for not only our community but Elk charities nationwide.  Whether it be Veterans, Children with disabilities, First responders or whatever charity is close to your heart; never hesitate to jump in and get in-volved.

We have an awesome lodge, and it was incredible to hear all the compliments other lodges as well as state officers were heaping upon us at the convention.  We are growing by leaps and bounds and there is no ceiling for where we can go.  My heartfelt thanks go out to each and every one of you for the work you have put in to making our lodge run as well as it does.

Marc Godman, Exalted Ruler
