Exalted Ruler’s Message

February brings our Lodge nomination and election time. Be involved with this process. Nominations are made at the first meeting in February and voting is on the second meeting in February. If you haven’t been to a meeting in a while, this could be one you don’t want to miss.

Our Lodge has shown great strides in retaining members as well as growth in membership. Three members have achieved the GER award for proposing 3 members or more. Great job! Greet these new mem-bers when they are in the Lodge; engage and involve them in Lodge activities. Currently, we have a zero (o) lapsation.

I urge you to come out to the Lodge. Maybe you can’t volunteer for whatever reason, but perhaps you can come out for a dinner or a drink. Bring a friend. Who knows, they may just want to join with us!

Look to see you at the Lodge soon. Remember your Obligation—Remember to Volunteer!

GRAND EXALTED RULER MIKE AND DONNA ZELLEN

It All Began With the Jolly Corks. Starting as a group of actors and entertainers bent on having fun AND avoiding a

New York Excise tax in 1867 (Sundays were the ‘dry’ day), this convivial group called themselves the Jolly Corks

(for a clever trick with corks they performed on the uninitiated to win rounds of drinks).

That same year as membership grew, some members saw the vision to become more helpful in the community.

Alas, two feuding factions split the group over different philosophies. Fortunately, the latter faction moved

forward with their new ideals and in February of 1868, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was

chartered–and with a great new spirit and direction, began to help Veterans, Scouting Scholarships and

more–wherever Charity, Justice and Brotherly Love were needed!
