ER's Message

To the Kinderhook Elks Family,

April brought a wave of inspiration, as the lodge improvements committee dedicated their time and talents to enhancing the lodge. Their commitment was evident in every thoughtful detail, reflecting their passion for creating a warm and welcoming space for everyone.

A big thank you to the Lodge Easter Bunny for hopping around town and spreading joy this Easter! Your festive spirit truly brightened our celebrations and brought smiles to everyone’s faces!

Our 50th anniversary celebration turned out to be a wonderful success. It brought us so much joy to have the district lodges visit and share in this special occasion with us. A heartfelt thank you to the committee for their incredible effort and dedication; they truly went above and beyond!

Thank you to the Rensselaer Elks Bingo Committee for your incredible support in helping us make a meaningful donation to the veterans of The Grand and ensure that their grooming needs are met throughout this fall.

The chairs and I have come together, and we are excited to turn our ideas into reality. The walking and book club has launched! These gatherings are open to all, and we warmly invite you to join us.

We still have one open position for the Esquire role. If you're interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, please reach out to me or any of the other officers or PERs. Even if you want to discover more about what the position entails, we would be excited to discuss it with you.

Please keep an eye on the bulletin board and check your emails for the upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. If you're not receiving the emails, just let me know, and I'll make sure to get you added. I want to make sure you don't miss out on anything. We have some upcoming events that promise to be fulfilling and enjoyable, and we would deeply appreciate any volunteers who can help us bring them to life. Your support will make a meaningful difference, and together we can create something truly special.

Remember, everyone, this is your Lodge. Use it, support it, and continue to promote it. See you at the Lodge!
