Kinderhook Elks - Lodge 2530

ER's Message

To the Kinderhook Elks Family

Thank you to everyone for stepping up and helping out, not only with fair parking but the BBB, purchasing a new freezer, cooking meals, setting up and cleaning up the dining room, grant writing, filling in a chair when needed, people reaching out to help take Suzy to treatments and the list goes on.

We are a team that works together. There are the people who continually rise to the occasion to get the work done. We are an organization that doesn’t focus on I, me, mine and myself, we focus on the bigger picture of helping the community, youth and Vets.

The Elks year runs from April to April, so we are about half way thru the 2019-2020 year. Now is the time that we as a Lodge need to work on getting officers to fill chairs and people to take on committees. Could you be one of the people that is willing to move us forward.

We have learned so much about each other this year. I have made mistakes, and I have learned from them. If you have ideas or a different way to do things please bring it to the attention of an officer or come to a meeting and let your voice be heard.

There are some responsibilities that I have been told are up to the ER, many of which involve the entire Lodge, so please give me your input. I want the Lodge to be a place everyone feels welcome and has a voice.

My contact information is here.

Question 1: Do you have a nomination for Elk of the year?

Question 2: Do you have a nomination for Citizen of the year? (not an Elk)

Question 3: What would you prefer for visitation, just appetizers or would you like a sit down meal?

Question 4: Are you interested in being an officer?

Question 5: Do you know of anyone that might be willing to be an officer?

Thank you for everything you do for the betterment of the Lodge and the community we live in.

ER Anne
