A Message from Our Exalted Ruler
Hello Elks!
I am extremely excited about this year and all the fresh ideas and enthusiasm our new officers will instill in the Lodge. Thank you for accepting your positions, and I believe we will
all work great TOGETHER!
Last year’s officers deserve a huge THANK YOU from all our members for the awesome work they have done and the commitment they have made! I personally want to “thank you”, and I am looking forward to your continued support and advice.
On another note, we have now provided over 70 Welcome Home Kits for veterans since we have been involved with this amazing program. A “high-five” to all for the work we have done to make this a success.
We have several events, including a variety of entertainment planned for this year. Make sure to stay up to date as all the information will continue to be posted on our scrolling TV and in our Elks Times sent out monthly by email. If you are not on our email list, please sign-up at the Lodge by the Daily Book so we can add you.
I am looking forward to a great year and hope all our members are as well!
-Greg Prohaska

NOMINATION OF OFFICERS
Have you been thinking about becoming more active in your Lodge? Or do you know someone in our Lodge who would make a great leader? The Lodge meeting next month (February 9th at 7:00pm) is nomination of officers as well as PER Night and Initiation of new members. We are always looking for a few good men and women. If you cannot be there, but are interested, please let us know prior to the meeting.
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!
2026-27 DUES
Dues notices will be going out at the end of February. The good news is that our dues will be remaining the same 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 stasko.elks644@yahoo.com and we will address this for you.
