Kinderhook Elks - Lodge 2530

ER's Message

To the Kinderhook Elks Family,

Thank you to everyone for all the things you do, seen and unseen. Thank you to the members that will be helping out with the Chatham Fair, either parking cars, working the booth selling raffle tickets, or manning the radios some for one shift and some for many more. Thank you to the grounds keepers and the cleaners that when they see something they do something. Thank you for volunteering your time, talents, and money to help out the Lodge and the community we serve. The Lodge won’t thrive without you.

The Lodge is what you make of it. New friendships are made, and some of those turn into part of an extended family. New members are stepping up and helping out. Wednesday night dinners are picking up, the newsletter is filled with so much information, activities are happening. Games of who’s in the baby picture, name the Vet, trivia, drop the quarter. If you don’t know what these are stop by the Lodge.

If you aren’t involved, why not? Come get your feet wet, work with a crew, if its not the right fit, try another. There are always crews looking for help on a regular basis and a fill in basis. Got an idea for a function at the Lodge? Come tell us about it, lets work out a plan and give it a try.

The next few months will be Lodge visitations, which any member is able to attend. We go to the Lodges in our district, meet new people, see their rendition of the ritual, and have time to socialize. There is a schedule posted on the bulletin board.

Our visitation is November 2nd at 3pm, I hope you will come and join us. The state convention is also in September, from the 19-22, in Albany. Again every member is welcome to attend, free of charge. The newsletter has more details. There is also a murder mystery dinner September 21, and Open House. No need to continue here as the information is contained in the rest of the newsletter.

Thank you again for everything you do.

ER Anne
