![]() Monday, September 6, 2021Monday Motivation “Labor Day… constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.” – US Department of Labor We can bring this thought closer to home and into our Lodge where we can celebrate “the contributions our volunteers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our Lodge.” We are entering what is arguably the busiest season our Lodge has experience in recent memory with activities happening a full seven days a week. At the same time, our revenue is also hitting greatly needed highs. This is all good stuff for the Lodge, but it should never be forgotten that the doors of the Lodge would be closed if not for the efforts of our amazing volunteers. In fact, all of Elkdom operates on the energy, passion, and commitment of volunteers. On this Labor Day as we pay tribute to the “strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country” let us also honor and celebrate the service of our volunteers who selflessly dedicate themselves to our Lodge and our Order. Thank you to all our volunteers! “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi Active Service Members Wall The House Committee voted to revive the Active Service Members Photo Wall in our Lodge. The Photos had been removed when the Lodge was repainted during our COVID closure. If you are an Elk from our Lodge (or know of one) that is actively serving in the military, please submit your 8×10” or similar sized photo of yourself in uniform to our office so we can begin reassembling the wall. After Party September 17 Our After Parties are receiving wonderful reviews from the attendees. It’s a great night to stay out dancing. Our Next After Party will be on Friday, September 17, from 8-11pm The band Bonneville 7 will be bringing their Rockabilly and blues music to the Lodge. This is a great band for dancing and I’m sure we will have a huge crowd. Please remember that unless otherwise noted, all Elk events are for Elks members and their guests only, and not open to the general public.
