Members attend Iowa Elks Association Fall Convention
Members of the Shenandoah Lodge attended the Fall Convention of the Iowa Elks Association on the weekend of November 6th and 7th. The convention was held at the Airport Holiday Inn Convention Center in Des Moines. The Grand Exalted Ruler Ron Hicks and First Lady Nancy were in attendance. There were numerous training opportunities for all officers and members. Membership, again was a central focus with “Getting the Word Out” as a common theme. We need to let communities know, that the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks have contributed close to one Billion dollars within the last ten years to our communities! That total includes, not only monetary donations, but also volunteer time and mileage! As ALWAYS, Elks Care – Elks Share! We need to always, “Seize the Opportunities”!

Announcing the Death of a Member
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our Brother, Stewart L. Harberts. “Farewell our Brother and Friend. We will miss you keenly in our councils and our gatherings. May the Great Author and Giver of Life grant unto you light and peace in the world beyond” The faults of our members we write upon the sand, their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory.
