Elk of the Month!
We’re doing the covid catch up on recognizing our members that have done so much over this past year and deserve our thanks
Kim Carroll continues to put in the time and energy to help support our lodge into being a more beautiful and financially sound place for all our members. Kim not 
only put in the hours as our First Lady while her partner Erik Howes served as our Exalted Ruler but she continued to work hard to make sure our landscaping looks amazing and continues to improve while increasing the income our lodge so desperately needs to pay our bills during this trying time.
Often you’ll find Kim out mowing the lawn, blowing the parking lot or raking up the leaves around the lodge but what you don’t see is how many hours Kim spends working behind the scenes organizing and managing the legacy brick program or managing our various landscaping needs – while also volunteering in our kitchen for our various dinners we’ve put on this year.
Kim Carroll – Thank you! Your continued efforts for our lodge since joining our order is absolutely amazing and is certainly encouraging those around you to volunteer to help as well – let alone keeping Erik organized and volunteering… Well done and thank you from the Past Exalted Ruler Association and your fellow lodge members.
