ER's Message

To the Kinderhook Elks Family,

The hot days of summer are upon us. However, that is not stopping us from doing all the great work that is being done for our community and at our lodge! We had an exciting month filled with rentals, a member activity, and the formation of a new committee.

We are excited to introduce our kitchen committee, made up of Chuck Cotsonas, Rick LaCrosse, and me. Together, we will manage food, inventory, and the shopping. For more details, please refer to this newsletter.

The end of the 25-week club party was a success! Thank you to everyone who played a vital role in buying or selling tickets, working on the team, and preparing the food. Together, we welcomed 136 guests to celebrate this achievement. Tickets for the 2026 event are now available for purchase.

Don't miss the opportunity to volunteer at one of our rentals or member activities. I send email updates that are posted on the lounge wall or refrigerator in the kitchen. If you haven't been receiving our emails, please let me know.

It was truly heartwarming for the lodge to host the Albany VA Hospital veterans' luncheon. The veterans enjoyed engaging in games, with pool and shuffleboard as their top choices. They savored a picnic lunch followed by a delightful "make your own ice cream sundae" activity, all while John Deane played uplifting music in the pavilion. Their appreciation and excitement were palpable, making the day even more memorable.

In July and August, we don't have a meeting on the second Monday of the month. We are still waiting to hear from the Grand Lodge regarding whether they approved our by-law change to make this a permanent arrangement.

Don’t miss out on the exciting Columbia County Fair! Be sure to sign up to secure your spot. If you find yourself unable to sign up at the lodge, don’t hesitate to reach out to me; I would be delighted to do it for you.

May July 4th bring you joy, love, and a sense of pride. Enjoy the fireworks, the celebrations, and the company of loved ones. Happy 4th of July! Your unwavering dedication to maintaining our lodge and ensuring everything runs smoothly inspires us all. I truly appreciate it; thank you!

Remember, everyone, this is your Lodge. Use it, support it, and continue to promote it. See you at the Lodge!

Exalted Ruler Tammy McDermott
