President's Corner - February 2012

Tom

We are almost at the beginning of a new year in Elkdom. The nominations should all be in order and then the elections to elect the new officers for 2012-2013. This is a process that will be carried out in every lodge in the state I hope a lot of thought and work went into the choices. I am sure that the ones chosen will do the best they can in leading their lodge to a wonderful and prosperous year. Good luck to all.

It is the time of the year to make plans on what your lodge is going to do for the upcoming year. Think of all the good we do in the com-munity and across the state. Plan to do func-tions aimed at our charities and committee goals. I realize the economy is tight and we must tighten our belts, but even if we only do a little that is better than nothing at all.

I want to commend all the lodges that participated in the ritual contests you are all winners for just competing. To those of you who won the district contest congratu-lations. For those who competed but came up short you know it means harder work for next year, except the outgoing Exalted Rulers you can breathe a sigh of relief that it is over. For the lodges that did not compete I think you missed a great opportunity to have a friendly competition with the other lodges in your district, please try to commit to competing this lodge year.

Remember at your installations the obligation you are taking, put the words to heart and apply them to the whole year. If every Officer lives up to the oath they take I am sure your lodge will be one of enjoyment and satisfaction in completing the goals that all of you have set.

A very large thank you to the officers going out of office for the great job you did, continue to support your lodge and stay active.

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