As the District Deputy Visitation Team continues our Lodge visits in the Great North Central District, it is wonderful to see first hand the positive impact our... Elks Fraternal Organization Programs have in our communities. And of course, we are always greeted with that warm welcoming Elk’s hospitality!! We had the pleasure of visiting two more lodges, State College Lodge #1600 and my home Lodge Bellefonte Lodge #1094, all while promoting Grand Exalted Ruler Paul Ryan‘s message.... ‘Creating Momentum for the Future of Elkdom’ As we face daily challenges, we as Elks continue to find opportunities to serve the communities we live in. If your in any of these areas, stop in and grab a bite to eat and enjoy some Elk fellowship!! If you are not an Elk member and have been thinking about joining, now is the time!! A special thank you to the ‘Visitation Team’ for their time and commitment in traveling with me!

"The purpose of the service is to honor our country's flag, to celebrate the anniversary of its birth, and to recall the achievements attained beneath its folds" is the beginning line of the ceremony. It was a mild, beautiful day and the ceremony was well-attended.
