One way of recognizing fellow Elks for their time and energy devoted to the
betterment of our Lodge is to award Elk of the Month or Elk of the Year or Officer of
the Year. This year Exalted Ruler Ed Mendell felt that there were so many
volunteers working to make things happen that he organized a special awards
ceremony. ER Ed recognized many non-members whose contributions are
priceless, in addition to regular members and officers for going a cut above. Here
are the honorees, most of who are presented their plaques by Chairman of the
Board of Trustees, Joe Cindrich. The final six photographs are of the crowd of
family and friends attending the ceremony.
