There was a focus on the turnaround in our membership and the need to “get the word out” on our activities and contributions to our communities! Public relations and the use of social media and websites will enhance our opportunities to “tell the story”! We use our website as well as Facebook to inform members and potential members of our activities and needs that we are aware of in the community.
The delegation from the Iowa Elks Association accepted a challenge to make a $130 contribution to the restoration fund for the Elks Memorial building in Chicago. The members present raised $350, one of the highest raised in the challenge.
Our Iowa Hospitality room had a fund raising cup for contributions to ENF. Roger McQueen challenged those present that he would match the funds raised. The members present accepted the challenge and Roger will match $400 for a total of $800 contributed to the ENF fund on behalf of the Iowa Elks Association.
The Grand Lodge officers were installed on Thursday morning our Grand Exalted Ruler Ronald L. Hicks as well as our District Deputy to the Grand Exalted Ruler Blade Martwick were among those installed.
The Grand Exalted Rulers theme for this year will be: “Elks Pride – Community Focus”
Always remember to: “Seize the Opportunities”
