Kinderhook Elks Lodge #2530

ER's Message

To the Kinderhook Elks Family

Let’s take a moment to breathe and savor our time. May flew by in a whirlwind! Together, we’ve made remarkable progress on lodge improvements, planned exciting fundraisers, and Chris has been tirelessly bringing in rentals. I'm grateful for each of your dedicated efforts and the inspiring work you continue to contribute!

The convention was an incredible opportunity to delve into the rich traditions of Elkdom. I had the pleasure of reconnecting with old friends from various lodges, sharing stories and laughter that brought back memories of our shared experiences. Additionally, I forged new friendships that I look forward to nurturing in the future. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie, and the workshops and discussions provided valuable insights. I discovered a wealth of new knowledge and insights!

The walking group offers a refreshing chance to enjoy nature while connecting with fellow members. Experience the joy of fresh air and the warmth of friendship as you share laughter along the way. Additionally, don’t miss out on the book club, which provides an enriching opportunity to explore thrilling adventures, intriguing mysteries, and heartfelt love stories, all while building meaningful connections with others.

We proudly present our 'Take It and Make It' series during the summer months. Join us for a fun and creative experience where you can learn new skills and create amazing projects. Check out the flyer for details.

All our upcoming events are posted on the bulletin board and shared via email every two weeks. Let’s get excited about the Columbia County Fair! The traffic directing schedule for car parking is now available for everyone to view. We encourage you to sign up and participate in the coming months to reduce the need for phone tree calls, working together to make this process smoother and more efficient.

We still have one open position for the Esquire role. If you're interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or any of the other officers or PERs. Even if you want to discover more about what the position involves, we would love to talk about it with you.

Please keep an eye on the bulletin board and check your emails for the upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. Your support will make a meaningful difference, and together we can create something truly special.

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

Exalted Ruler Tammy McDermot
