Exalted Ruler’s Message - August 2008

Dear Members,

The Southwest District Awards Dinner was held on June 29 at Our Trenton Lodge. All Lodges from the Southwest District were represented. I was very proud Trenton won the Oldest Participant, Color Guard, and Exalted Ruler awards. We must thank our Marching Club for a job well done.

Thank you to Secretary Lou Eggert and Grill Room Chairman Jim Lawrence Sr. for hosting the outing for the Patriot Committee of Ewing Township after the 4th of July Parade. They did a great job. Everyone was pleased and had a good time.

I just returned from the National Elks Convention in Anahein, California. It was a very busy week...up at 6am, have breakfast, meet the other Exalted Ruilers at 7:30am, and be in our seats by 7:55am sharp. It was a very busy and educational week, an experience I will never forget. I met Exalted Rulers from around our country...and some Lodges were older than Trenton. The Convention was a great success.

I had the honor to see our new Grand Exalted Ruler, the Honorable Paul Helsel, be installed for the Elks Year 2008-2009. Also, our new District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, Ronald Mangone from Mt. Holly, was installed.

Grand Exalted Ruler Paul Helsel's main goal is to reverse the decline in Elkdom's membership. He asks that we meet his goal by having each of our members propose a new member. LET'S DO IT.

There were 12 resolution on the floor...nine passed, three were voted down. I will advise you what they were at Our Lodge meeting.

Fraternally Yours,

Joan Laird
Exalted Ruler
