The Glass Ceiling is BROKEN!
A milestone event occurred for the Shenandoah Elks Lodge on Sunday October 18, 2015. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks have welcomed female members into membership since the mid 1990’s. At a special Initiation for six new members, the Shenandoah Lodges’ first female Initiate was welcomed into our Lodge. The acting Exalted Ruler Roger McQueen, President of the Iowa Elks Association, presided over the ceremony. Roger had the honor and privilege of Initiating his daughter, Kelly, into the Shenandoah Elks Lodge. Kelly joins our Lodge as a FIFTH generation member of the Elks. WELCOME KELLY!
