FL ELKS DISASTER RELIEF

You should be proud to know that the Elks of Florida continue to provide financial aid to our members who were affected by Hurricane Ian. There are still several areas that our relief coordinator in SW Florida has been unable to reach, and in those areas he has visited, the devastation and needs are indescribable.

We estimate that the FL Elks will distribute well in excess of the amounts distributed in 2004 after hurricane Charley, and that was over $200,000.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Please consider giving to our Disaster Relief fund if you are able.

You may give by check to:

Florida Elks Charities

P.O. Box 49

Umatilla, FL 32784-0049

Please write "Disaster Relief" on the memo line

Elks National Convention has set the stage for a bright future for Gainesville 990

Great times and strong representation by all 990 members

It is with much excitement and support that Susan has named

Luis Mallory as our 2022-2023 Exalted Ruler at large.

Louis has accepted her appointment and is anxious to move forward

The PER Association is in support of the growth and knowledge he will gain from this year learning from Susan so that he may continue to lead our lodge to continued growth in the years to come.

I hope our members will give all the support he needs to help him become the ER we will all be proud of.
