The Louisiana Elks Association (LEA) State Convention will be held at the Garden Plaza Hotel in Lafayette, LA on the weekend of May 18-20, 2018. At the LEA State Convention, we get a chance to see what the other lodges across the state are doing to help promote Elkdom. You can help to support these lodges through the many raffle drawings held with the winners being announced at the banquet on Saturday. If you are bold enough, you can participate in the Ritual Contest. There are several contests for the Lodge officers and an open Ritual Contest for the “11 O'clock Toast” and the “Tribute to the Flag.” The Ritual Contest start on Friday afternoon and conclude Saturday afternoon. The banquet is Saturday evening with a dance and live music following. The convention ends on Sunday morning with a final Business Session and a Memorial Service to remember all Louisiana Elks that have passed away during the 2017-2018 Elks Lodge year.
Yours in Brotherhood,
Sam Authement PER
Secretary
