Elks Association

The goal for the Ritual Committee this year is to help the
Lodge Officers develop a better understanding of the importance
the Ritual makes on the impression of the new member. This
is the Lodges second chance to grasp the attention of the new
member, and hopefully want to make them get involved in their
Lodge.
As a committee we will make ourselves available to any
Lodge of individual Lodge Officer who would like our help.
We know that most really do not think that either doing the
Ritual from memory, or reading it (and reading what is on the
page) makes a difference, but it does. So again please
call us for any help that we can offer. We are here to
serve you, please use us.

| The whole purpose of the exemplification of the
ritual is to impress the candidate with the lesson it teaches. The
ceremony should be presented at all times from this standpoint.
There is no activity throughout Elkdom that more consistently and
continually furthers the fundamental principles of our Order than
that of a dignified and impressive rendition of the ritual.
The first impressions are usually the most lasting and the
opportunity for the Lodge officers to impress the candidate with the
principles of our Order is on the night that he/she is initiated. It
must be remembered that the first knowledge of the aims and
principles of Elkdom is experienced when a candidate is being
inducted as an Elk. Therefore, one of the most important
contributions the officers of all Lodges can make is an impressive
induction of a candidate into our great Order.

Contest Announced
By Pete Nelson PER, State Ritualistic
Chairman
|
This years
State Ritual contest will take place at the Willimantic Lodge on
Sunday March 14th 2010. Any Lodge interested in competing
please contact me directly so that I can make all the arrangements
(i.e. time format, and food ). I have been to quite a few DD
visitations and I personally know that there are several Lodges in
Connecticut that can do a real fine job on the Ritual. Please
come forward this year, maybe your Lodge will be the one going to
Grand Lodge to represent Connecticut.
