2026-2027 Motto:
"TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG"
We are all embarking on our 2026-2027 journey. Let's all jump in and make it an energetic, exciting, and productive year. Looking forward to seeing you all around the lodge. Please support our brother and sister Elks also in their projects Together, we will make this a great year.
"If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you be can to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person." Fred Rogers
Vice President
Hello Elks' ladies, I’m so happy to be coming back to our group as the Vice President.
And keeping with our theme of traditions this year, I have been charged with having the Appreciation Dinner. It will be on Monday, December 14. I look forward to getting more information out at a later date.

Hello Ladies,
April and I are excited to take the torch and move forward with Membership for 2026-2027.
This past month, we have been busy updating the membership databases with returning and new members.
All of the 2026-2027 membership cards will be available to pick up at our May meeting. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of stamps, we are unable to mail them out.
Please make sure to turn in your dues before our May meeting to avoid being dropped from our list. If you happen to have a friend who hasn’t yet paid, please remind them that they can still pay their dues.
Please contact April or Jana if you have any Membership questions.
