THANK YOU to our current officers for your continued support and dedication to our Lodge.
You are ALL APPRECIATED!!
A HUGE thank you to all the PER’s that participated in February’s Initiation – Greg Prohaska,
Bob Morrow, Dottie Rodgers and Terry Hendrickson. We would also like to welcome our new
members who were Initiated.
REINSTATEMENTS
If you know anyone who has been dropped from the roles for non-payment of dues and would like to return to the Lodge, our by-laws permit us to waive the re-instatement fee for the months of January and February. Please let them know – we would love to see them back!
2025-26 DUES
Dues notices will be going out at the end of February. I just wanted to give you a heads-up that our dues will be decreasing for the next Lodge year due to assessments from the organization. The dues for the 2025-26 Lodge year will be $57 for regular members and $37 for life members. It is still an honor to belong to such an amazing organization!
LIFE MEMBERSHIP
If you have been a member of our Lodge for 30 consecutive years and are at least 65 years of age, you are eligible for life membership. If this is you, please let the Lodge know by email to elks644@elks644.comcastbize.net and we will address this for you.
We are looking to grow our Elks! Do you know of any family, relatives and
friends who would enjoy our Lodge? Please invite them to attend an event with
you or bring them in for dinner and a beverage. Applications are available in the
entry hallway. All they will need is a $10 deposit along with a completed
application. When they are initiated, the $10 will be applied towards their dues. If
you have any membership questions, please contact Debbie Checkeye at
Attaboys Food Service is in our kitchen every Wednesday-Friday. They offer a wide variety of delicious foods on their menus. Visit our Elks Kitchen page to see Weekly/Monthly Specials and the 2025 Menu.
