And just like that, Summer is here. Of all the events planned, one you do not want to miss is our annual Flag Day celebration on Friday, June 14. This is an impressive ceremony and one in which every Elk can take pride. The June calendar is full of events for all. Be sure to check out the calendar and sign up for the weekly "Shouts", if you have not already done so. We have several new members in the Lodge. If you see someone you don't know, be sure to introduce yourself and make them feel "wELKome". We have some illness in the Lodge; if you know of a member ill at home or in the hospital, please let our secretary or one of the girls in the Lounge know. Sometimes a prayer is all we can offer up, and we all need someone praying for us! Like Elks across this nation, your Lodge is loud and proud: "WE ARE THE ELKS". Come out and meet some new members, enjoy the entertainment, and catch up with the "regulars". There are lots of activities scheduled for the month; check out the monthly newsletter and the weekly "shouts" for updates and further information.
It's Great to Be an Elk!
