New England Elks Tour 2012
Information
|
|
Information has been posted for the Elks National Convention to
be held in Austin, Texas - Jun 30th through July 6th. The
New England delegation to the Elks National Convention 2012 has been
assigned to the Hyatt Regency Austin.
The New England Elks Tour has reserved
rooms at the Hyatt Regency Austin for this event. These rooms will
be assigned on a first-come/first-serve basis. I urge you to
get your reservations in as early as possible, but no later than
March 31, 2012. Elections are coming up, and some
Lodges may not know who their Exalted Ruler will be. In that
case, please send in the deposit in the name of the Lodge, clearly
marking that it is for the Exalted Ruler Elect and then send the
appropriate name and information required as soon as it is
available. This will ensure that your Lodge gets a room at the
New England Hotel.
Please take the time to neatly fill out the
application, and clearly state your Lodge name and number, and your
title. All of the information on the application is important,
so please fill in all of the blanks.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the success of
the New England Delegation at the National Convention in
Austin, Texas.

Middletown 771 Presents Community Charities Grant
Check
By
David Greaves PER, DDGER
|
 |
|
On January 26th Middletown Elks Lodge
771 delivered a check for $1,500.00 to
St. Luke’s. St. Luke's has been providing needed community
services to seniors and promoting elderly independence since
being founded in 1865 as a home for civil war widows. In 1982
St. Luke’s initiated a program to provide outreach support
services to the home bound elderly living independently in the
community. In 2003, through a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, St. Luke’s developed a volunteer service model based
on communities working together to provide valuable needed
support services to low income elderly.
Pictured are the Officers of Middletown Lodge along with
Dianne Annelli, Director of St. Lukes, Daniel Miramant Exalted
Ruler, Middletown Lodge and Peter Freiler CEA Vice-President -
Central District.
Middletown Elks Lodge 771 is proud to
support the great work that St. Luke's does for the elderly in
our community and look forward to a long relationship with them.

'President's Podium' -
January 2012
By
Steven Ferraro PDD, State President
|
January
is here but no snow yet, but don’t hold your breath, this is New
England and we do have cold winters! This month’s message is
somewhat late and will be short since I did have a lot to say at our
recent CEA Mid Year Convention that was held on January 7th.
From my observations and comments from others I believe that we had
a successful convention. The workshops were well attended. I
managed to sit in on all of them for a period of time and found them
to be informative. Thank you to Pete Nelson, Terry Ford, Matt
Frankel, Peter Freiler, Frank Hegedus, Joe Mingoia and John Barry
and anyone who assisted these gentlemen in conducting their
respective workshops.
As Andy
Caporossi stated so well at our recent convention all Lodge officers
and your Membership Committee need to put it in high gear to reduce
your list of members whose dues are in arrears. Contact those
members in arrears personally to let them know we want them to come
to our Lodges and become active. Also, please continue to place more
emphasis on recruiting new members. A good community profile for
your Lodge, which can be continually enhanced by positive public
relations, again is a great recruiting tool.
I will
end here with a reminder about our Annual Elks Bowling Outing on
Sunday, February 19th at Bradley Bowl in Windsor Locks.
It has been modified to allow children to participate and is more
of a fun day than a tournament. Get a team together and send your
registration into Chic Rhodes. More information is available on the
CEA website. Through your participation in this fun event we can
help meet our fund raising obligation for our state major project,
the CCMC Safe Kids Program.
See you
around the state!
