We had 18 members of Houma Lodge #1193 attend the LEA State Convention. Next years convention is set to be held the last weekend in April and will be at the Wyndham Hotel on Pinhook Road in Lafayette, LA.
We received a $60.00 gift card to Home Depot from the Accident Prevention State Committee Chairman, William Boudreaux, to purchase safety items for the Lodge.
At the LEA State Convention, 2 proposals were motioned and approved for spending of state funds. Each Lodge will get up to $1,500.00 for an “Adopt a School” Program. There will be guidelines sent to all Lodges for the spending of these funds. It was also motioned and approved to donate $1,500.00 to the local Food Banks in the name of the local Lodge.
Houma Lodge #1193 will receive $250.00 for selling the most books in the LEA State Raffle and also $250.00 for selling the winning raffle ticket.
I will be sending out dues notices to those that have not paid the dues as of 6/1/2019. If you paid dues towards the end of May and receive a dues notice, please discard the notice. We currently have 42 members that have not paid dues for the 2019-2020 year.
Two students will receive the Houma Elks Legacy Scholarship for the upcoming school year. Both students were participants in the Most Valuable Student Scholarship and are eligible for the local Lodge’s legacy award.
At the 5/22/2019 meeting, we discussed hosting the Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours meeting at the Lodge on Thursday, October 24, 2019.
Yours in Brotherhood,
Sam Authement PER
