Kinderhook Elks - Lodge 2530

ER's Message

To the Kinderhook Elks Family.

November is here and it seems that life just gets busier and busier. We just had our first meeting for the Marion Stegmann Fund for 2019. Sign up sheet will be posted soon. Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner.

Hats off to all the members of this Lodge and the things that you do. When I returned from seeing my sister and her family from Texas, I noticed some small changes around the Lodge. Don’t know who did them but definitely want to say thank you!! The new numbers and holders on the tables in the dinning room, the little ramp added to the bar side of the walkthrough from the lounge to the kitchen, the ramp was painted, the door in the kitchen, just to name a few.

There is always something going on around here, would you like to get more involved? Would you like to see something new or changed? Come to a meeting let the Lodge know and lets see what we can do about it.

Our Visitation is November 2, at 3pm. I hope as many members that are free will come out and show support to our new members. Remember what you put into the Lodge is what you get out of it. If you have sponsored a member, have you brought them around? Have you introduced them to other members so that they will feel comfortable coming without you? This place can be overwhelming, lets help all our members feel like this is their Lodge, because it is, every member and their family and friends are welcome. Show that brotherly love.

The newsletter is a great resource of information. If you want the weekly email, go the Kinderhook Elks page on the internet, scroll to the bottom and sign up, only takes a few seconds, I thought we could just add emails but this is something you have to do on your own.

Thank you for everything you do for the Lodge and the community we serve.
