Letter From the Exalted Ruler

Fellow Elks,
With this, my last message to my Elks family, I would like to extend
my congratulations and support to the new Exalted ruler John Marshall
and his support staff, including Leading Knight, Braden Bush, Lecturing
Knight, Justin Rice, and Loyal Knight, Allen Herriage.. We have had a
great year together and we have accomplished many things together. A
huge thank you to the huge showing we had on our last work day. We
made some huge movements toward completing all of our goals we had set
for repair and upkeep. We now have 4 smoke exhausting fans as well as
new filters in all smoke eater fans to help make the non-smoking Elks
more comfortable. We ran wiring for a door release, patio speakers,
changed out bulbs, extended the smokestack,and then cleaned the air vents
and changed ceiling tiles. We will need help soon to reset the parking
curbs, fix the flagpole mounts, repair some walls, pressure wash the building and re-seal the parking lot. Well enough about work, we also have numerous fun loaded events planned for this year, such as: The Helen Russell
th, so come in and join
Band on the 4th and Hypnotist Bruce TaylorExalted
on the 25Ruler
the fun. Once again.....It has been a pleasure
serving
you over this past
Toby
Moreland
year!
Past Exalted Ruler, Toby Moreland
