Elk
of the Year
and
Elk Hall of Fame Awards
| |
To Exalted Rulers and Secretaries, |
| |
The 2007 Elk of the
Year and Elk Hall of Fame awards will
be
presented at the Spring Convention in Columbus, Ohio, Saturday
April 21, 2007. One Elk member will be selected in each category. |
| |
|
| |
Enclosed are the
rules governing these two programs. I recommend the Leading
Knight be appointed to the selection committee, since he or she,
as the new Exalted Ruler, must be present at the Saturday evening
business meeting. Please read the enclosed
rules in Lodge then post them on your bulletin board. |
| |
|
| |
Also enclosed is a nomination form for
each program. This form, or a photocopy, must be used in
submitting your nominations. If additional space is needed I ask
that your nomination not exceed 500 words, (two pages, typed,
double-spaced), either use the back of the entry form or submit
an additional page. Only typed or neatly printed in ink
entries will be accepted. |
| |
|
| |
Please keep in mind that there are two separate contests here:
- the Elk of the Year is given to a
member who has performed outstanding service to Elkdom, particularly
at the local Lodge level;
- the Elk Hall of Fame is for a member
who has distinguished himself or herself outside of Elkdom,
such as in civic leadership, education, medicine, sports,
etc., while furthering the Cardinal Principles of Charity,
Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity in his/her profession.
|
| |
|
| |
Both of these awards are separate and
distinct from the Grand Lodge Elk of the Year program. However,
your Lodge's Elk of the Year recipient would
be a logical nominee for the Ohio Elks Association's Elk of the
Year award. |

|
| |
Entries must be in my hands no later
than March 1, 2007. If you have question, please contact me
at Phone# W 330-714-7343 H 330-296-2372 or davidmixelks@yahoo.com
as soon as possible. I look forward to receiving your nominations,
and I thank you in advance for your support of these recognition
programs. |
