President's Corner - May 2012

Tom

This is my final article as the President of the Ari-zona Elks Association. What a pleasure to have served this wonderful organization, it is indeed an honor and a privilege I will hold dearly forever. I want to thank all of the members and the spouses for the courtesies extended to my wife and I in all our travels throughout this wonderful state. The Arizona Elks know Protocol and it shows in all our Lodges and at our conventions.

I was honored to be the state representative at the first Grand lodge Convention held in Arizona. I must pass on that in my travels to other states there was nothing but praise on how the Arizona Elks managed the Grand Lodge convention. Everyone said it was the best Convention that they had at-tended. They were especially pleased with all the volunteers that were available to help them.
I know that the economy is still shaky and that some Lodges are struggling. I am very proud of the fact that people are stepping up to become officers and committee persons, but please examine your lodge and see if more people are not needed to complete the ros-ter, and if you have not stepped forward maybe now is the time to make the move. Our order is dwindling in membership so we must all do our part to maintain and promote new members to continue the great works that we do. I think if you take a close look at your lodge you can see what I am saying, we do not want to lose any more members.

Again I would like to thank everyone for their support and warm wishes this year. A spe-cial thank you to all my committee chair persons and the Officers of the AEA you helped make this a memorable year. I wish the best to all the incoming people of the AEA for the year 2012 – 2013, I am sure they will do well.
I will still be around the campus if anyone has any questions or if I can be of any service please do not hesitate to get ahold of me. Thank all of you from the bottom of heart it has been fantastic.

Fraternally,
Thomas J. Erhardt, President
Arizona Elks Association / 2011-2012
