On Sunday, November 6th, four new members were initiated as members of the Kinderhook Elks. The ritual was performed as part of our annual visitation and was attended by dignitaries and members of other Lodges in the North Hudson district.
The four new members are:
- Garrison Andros
- Frank Campeta
- Richard Usyk
- Kellie Clark
At the completion of the ritual, the District Deputy commended the officers on their performance, having delivered the long version from memory with only minor errors.
