I m a Past from South Kingstown Lodge This is the beginning of a new Elk year. Let us make this a great year. We have a good core group of active members, but the Lodge needs you. Ask yourself why did you become an Elk? What are the Elks about? Not sure, come on down to the Lodge a find out. We have over 600 members; are you active? When was the last time you came to the Lodge or a function? I challenge each and every one of you if you are not active to get active. We are neither a bar nor a range, we are Elks who just happen to have a bar and range. We need all members active so we can improve the facilities, help our Veterans, help the children and the community. For those of you who are active thank you. If you are not active take up my challenge. I would like to thank last year s suite of officers. I know each of them dedicated themselves to making this Lodge stronger than the year before, and I know they succeeded. Lastly, you may notice there are two open positions available for officers next year, yet it has come to my attention two members will be nominated at our next Lodge meeting. Keep in mind, as these positions are truly vacant, any member in good standing can still be nominated if so desired. Thank you. Elk of the Month Carmen Zocco Carmen recently took it upon himself to support the lodge by personally purchasing and installing energy efficient light bulbs. Please park in the place of honor for the month! Fraternally, Mon.
