NORTH CENTRAL DISTRICT VETERANS SERVICE
COMMITTEE PROGRAM
To All Lodge Chairmen
and Committee Members, Veterans Service Committee
Congratulations for accepting the position of Chairperson or
Committee Member for your Lodge Veterans Service Committee. We have in
the
United States
a growing number of Veterans that have served our Country. I know you
would not have taken this important job if you did not feel as I do,
that as Elks we must carry out our 1946 promise to all our veterans and
their families, that: “So
long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
will never forget them.”
Please click on the link below for the Aims
and Goals of the CHEA National Veterans Service Chairman, Frank
Chicago Frank Chicago. Please note that one additional program is the
re-introduction of the Michael Manning National Veterans Program.
Shortly, donation cans, will arrive at each Lodge. All cans are to be
distributed into your local “mom and pop” stores, delis, etc. by
however many Elks you can get to take charge of a can or cans. Each Elk
will be in charge of that can for one year.
This will require each volunteer to pick up the money earned in
their can on a monthly or bi-weekly basis. The money will then be pooled
together with the other members within their Lodge and deposited
according to the coin program instructions that will accompany the
cases.
If you are a Lodge Chairmen, and have not already done so, please
complete the Elks Veterans Programs Questionnaire (at the link below)
and forward that back to me as soon as possible, so I can determine how
I might be of further service to you and your programs.
