Flag Day Observance
June 9 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Dear Brother and Sister Elks,
We are pleased to invite you to our Flag Day observance on June
9th, hosted by Elks #322 with the assistance of Scouting America
Troop #322.
Flag Day, celebrated on June 14th, commemorates the adoption of
the Stars and Stripes by the Second Continental Congress in 1777.
While local celebrations began in the 19th century, the Elks played
a pivotal role in advocating for its national recognition. In 1907, the
BPOE designated June 14th as Flag Day and made its observance
mandatory for all local lodges by 1911. Their efforts influenced
President Woodrow Wilson to proclaim June 14th as National Flag
Day in 1916, and in 1949, President Harry S. Truman, an Elk himself,
signed an act of Congress making it a permanent national
observance.
Join us as we honor our flag and reflect on its significance. The
ceremony will be held June 9th, at noon on the pool deck. Your
presence would mean a lot to us!
We look forward to celebrating with you.
Fraternally Yours,
Travis Emerson

Volunteer Opportunities
We need volunteers! We are a large Lodge, nearly 2,400 strong. When you become an Elk, it is suggested you offer 12 volunteer hours each year to any of the many events and causes where we give service. What you may not know is that these hours are reported to the National Elks, and with our volunteer hours our Lodge is acknowledged and awarded opportunities to apply for a variety of grants and scholarships. The monies that are awarded stay in our community!
