Service for others is how our founding fathers the Jolly Corks rallied together to form the B.P.O.E. After one of the original Jolly Corks passed suddenly they found themselves wanting to help their fallen brothers family. It gave them purpose and guidance to form the principals of the order Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity.
I joined our Lodge in April 2005 under past Exalted Ruler Bill Redmond. Soon after I was asked to fill the role of Loyal Knight to help with ritual. It was but a few years later I had the privilege of competing in the ritual competition at the National Convention in Charlotte NC. I was a member of the house committee for about 10 years serving as chairman for 3 of them. I served on the Pool committee for 12 years. Some of you see me behind the Bar on Friday nights. So if I haven’t met you yet, I hope to do so this year as your Exalted Ruler.

So I ask you to help me in keeping with our traditions as Elks. Extend a hand to another, invite them to come out and enjoy our Lodge. Be apart of an upcoming activity, order lunch dine in or carry out, Share a story of your day in the Rathskeller. We have a lot of activities coming up; there is always something happening. If not, then we can make it happen!
Feel free to contact me with any questions, request, concerns, even complaints.
