June Meeting Highlights

Hello Elks!  Our new normal is still social distancing and wearing face masks but we can deal with that to stay healthy, right?  We held both of our June meetings at the Main Street Lodge. At this time, no food will be served at our meetings as another precaution.  The good news is we are able to provide Wi-Fi to our members at the downtown location.   Our Flag Day ceremony was held at the Coteau Property on June 14th.  Thank you to all who participated.

Our membership dues payments are slowly coming in but the lodge understands that during these times it may be difficult to make the payment.  At our meeting on June 24th, membership voted to allow members to divide up the amount one can pay to remain a member in good standing.  Please contact me or the Lodge for additional information.

A big thanks to Skip Miller and Elaine Stanley for coordinating the renovations of the first floor at the Main Street Lodge exposing the beautiful brick walls.  It looks amazing!

We have not yet begun to rent out either either of our locations due the pandemic as we are following the state guidelines for the safety of our membership.

We are hoping to begin in earnest applying for all ENF grants available to us to provide much needed assistance in our community.  Any and all suggestions are much appreciated!  We encourage all our members to get involved in any capacity.  We will continue to hold our monthly meetings at the Main Street Lodge with safety measures in place.  At our last meeting, two new candidates, Michael and Judy Hallohan were initiated into Elkdom.  Congratulations and welcome!

Please stay healthy and continue to trust in God to get us all safely through this trying time.
