Exalted Ruler...

Dear Elks and DOES,

I just returned from an Elk's District Deputy meeting for Nebraska East. One of my duties as Exalted Ruler was to give a summary of the activities and accomplishments of our Lodge for the current fraternal year.

In preparing my report I decided to review the pictures I had photographed this year and print some of the better photos for my presentation. The common saying, "pictures are worth a thousand words" holds true. Our Lodge has accomplished wonderful things. We make the world a better place.

The Elk's Organization from local lodges to Grand Lodge are fueled by volunteers. Volunteerism is a fundamental component of active citizenship. Volunteerism has long been a vehicle for individuals to engage in their communities and society. It has also been a means to express one's values, beliefs end concerns. Whether supporting civic organizations, mentoring children, organizing a community meeting, advocating for the rights of the disabled, or raising awareness of domestic violence, volunteer action contributes to creating a more just and equitable world.

Our Lodge has clocked thousands of hours of volunteer time, from helping out at dinners, the Hoop Shoot and Soccer Shoot, Elk's Football games, serving as an officer, the sacking party, and any of our activities. Even if you are not physically able to participate, paying your dues and donating money is a form of volunteering

I Congratulate all of our Volunteers and leave you with a quote from ALBERT PIKE.


"What we have done for ourselves alone
dies with us;
what we have done for others and the world
remains and is immortal"

Fraternally yours, John W. Brooks, ER
