Shirleen Donald, President
The summer is half-way gone. Hope you stay cool with all this heat. We will have final
approval of the budget at the August 4th meeting. Come join us for lunch and socialize with
the members. Stay well and may the Lord bless you all. Remember to support the Elks
Lodge. If you need a ride, call a member or me at 428-3592.
Members All,
The National Convention in Houston, Texas was really
interesting. I learned a lot about how the Grand Lodge
Operates and the enthusiasm of all the members was
high; we numbered around 2,700 members and guests.
Our new Grand Exalted Ruler, Michael Zellen, hopes that
we will be the year that we, “kick the door down,” he is
challenging each member to bring at least one new
member in, this year.; so let’s not disappoint him. Let’s
get out there and do all er can to bring new members
into our lodge. He announced this year, 2016-2017, his
per capita goal would be $4.65 per member.
I also learned that Florida was fifth of all the states with
their 2015-2016 per capita contest….congratulations to
us! Maybe we can make it fourth place next year.

We, you and I, became an Elk to work with the
greatest organization on earth and to support the
many programs we have for our youth, our
veterans and our community.
For over 140 years, the Benevolent and
Protective Order of the Elks has been dedicated to
serving our fellow citizens. Here in Florida, the
56,000 men and women of the Elks in 100 Lodges
from the panhandle to the Keys are enjoying the
camaraderie, compassion, community outreach,
and support that are all part of being an Elk.
Although you may already be aware of the social benefits of our great fraternal organization, you may not know
that each Lodge has its own unique amenities. Florida Elks enjoy indoor and outdoor sports activities, enter-
tainment, parties, dances, dining, and much more.
More importantly, Florida Elks take great pride in giving back to our communities. Nationally, each year, the
nearly one million Elks working together with the Elks National Foundation provide over $80 million for charitable
programs such as the Hoop Shoot competition, scholarships, drug awareness in our schools, and assistance for
veterans of all wars.
In Florida alone, Elks provide millions of dollars in assistance to the neediest among us:
The Army of Hope provides assistance to veterans and military families
The Elks Children’s Therapy Program brings mobile, in-home therapy services to children across the state
The 400-acre Elks Youth Camp in Umatilla builds character while simultaneously inspiring Florida’s youth
Scholarships
As a member of our order, you will be supporting all of these programs while enjoying all of the benefits of being
an Elk.
We are a family, and in a family, everyone does their part to support one another. You can say this is true as an
Elk; we support two major projects, our Youth Camp and Children Therapy Services, as well as many local
charities. Please help support your lodge by bringing in a new member, this year.
