A Wonderful Meeting
WCCD State VP Lance Erickson with Elks Lodge 2477 ER Terry Gicking
What an enjoyable evening at the lodge! Last night Thousand Oaks Elks Lodge was host to our West Central Coast District Vice-President Lance Erickson and his lovely wife Karen, a number of notables from Oxnard, Ventura and Simi Valley as well as some wonderful familiar faces who’s chairs have been vacant far too long at our lodge. It was very uplifting to see everyone again (or for the first time:).
As Inner Guard, having the care of the raffle tickets that lead to the drawings in “for the good of the order” we had a lot of participation and some very happy winners – BUT I think that everyone there felt that they were winners during the great dinner, lively meeting and the cooking demonstration provided for the Lady Elks by JohnnyD!
Lance, delivered a heartfelt message from our State President regarding the direction for the coming year. Our focus this year is on 4 different areas of which three include major projects, membership retention and lodge activities.
Jerry S. took some great pictures of the evening one of which is included here – we’ll have more posted soon.
Since the variety of activity at the lodge often has a direct effect on our members feeling like they are both interested and willing to renew – we’re putting up some poles to find out what you have to say!
We would like to ask you to just vote for your favorite current activity (you may select more than one). The NEXT poll will be about other activities that you might like to see. Remember when you answer – we don’t collect any information other than your answer!
In Harmony,
Kira Wagner
