My fellow Elks I like to bring up Volunteering and why it is so important for our Lodge. Quick imagine if not a single person volunteer where would be? So I asked you to get involved in one of our many committees or be a part of. This is your Lodge. As all Elks on your application you mark off that you would help or at least you did. It is the key to every Elks success. Where would be without the Grounds Committee, Activities Committee as so many enjoy on Friday night or bring in Local Talent.

With Sandy and I we been running Toys for Tots for last six years, I sit on Boards, helped other local charities. Definition below sums it up.

Definition of Volunteering: Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity where an individual or group pro- vides services for no financial gain "to benefit another person, group or organization". [1] Volunteering is also renowned for skill development and is often intended to promote goodness or to improve human quality of life. Volunteering may have positive benefits for the volunteer as well as for the person or community served.[2] It is also intended to make con- tacts for possible employment. Many volunteers are specifically trained in the areas they work, such as medicine, education, or emergency rescue. Others serve on an as-needed basis, such as in response to a natural disaster.

Events coming up for Toys for Tots which is 100% Volunteer.

Lodge Members:

April has certainly been a whirl-wind of learning new procedures as the Lecturing Knight and tak- ing sound advice and guidance from many seasoned Elks (especially Gerald, thank you for all of that great officer material!). I am learning from Ruth, Jim, and Randy and, together, I know we can continue the good works of our lodge in this current year and beyond. I am honored to be serving with such a devoted and selfless group. I look forward to helping with various com- mittees this year. I know that Chris Potter and the auditing committee will be gearing up for eval- uating the lodge, and I am asking that all areas of the lodge be willing and able to help him in making the process smooth. I am also very excited about the plans that Amber Sharps has in store as the head of the drug awareness committee. As always, I am seeking ways to bring in membership to the lodge. A lot of my friends work at Robinwood and Meritus, and I have been making it a priority to talk about our lodge (and our goal to impact the community for good). I know that a vast majority of that workforce seek to serve the community through their medical and professional expertise, and they might be inter- ested to hear about the Elks (especially from you). If you know someone who works at Robin- wood or Meritus, please tell them about the lodge. Let them know about our goals and tell them about our social functions as well (everyone has to eat and cut loose, and I bet those individuals would love to have the lodge as an option for meals…especially since it is so close). I look forward to the many upcoming events this Spring and hope to see as many of you as possi- ble.

Ken Twigg,
