4worldlovers: CHECK CALENDAR for monthly events and what great dinners are coming up!

I would like to welcome you to our website. As the Exalted Ruler for 2022-2023, I have numerous activities planned. My motto for this year is “Elks Make A Difference”. With the planned activities, there are plenty of opportunities for our members to “Make A Difference”. As we have fundraisers for our charities, bringing a family member or friend is an opportunity to “Make A Difference”. This is one way to spread the word of Elkdom and show them who we are and what we do. Then invite them to become a member of Lancaster Elks Lodge #1625.

We serve our community in various ways. We are involved with Veterans and the “Pete Knight” Veterans Home in Lancaster. We involve ourselves with youth activities which, among other things, include Scholarships, Drug Awareness, Hoop Shoot, Halloween and Christmas Parties. We support our State’s Major Project which is “So the Children Can Walk, Talk, See and Play”. We support our local Fire and Police Depts in various ways. Then there is our National Philanthropic organization, Elks National Foundation, which has many ways to give back to the Lodges to help them support their community.

While on the website, check out the link to our Facebook Page below.You can also check our calendar for the various upcoming events. I do hope you will stop by our Lodge and check us out. We have members who will sign you in so you can experience for yourself what our facilities offer, and meet some of our members and officers.

The cardinal principles of our order are CHARITY, JUSTICE, BROTHERLY LOVE, and FIDELITY. These are the things we practice in our Lodge and our community. BPOE stands for Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. In over 20 years of being an Elk, I am proud of the accomplishments our Lodge has had in our community. As we have new members join our ranks, we learn new and/or different ways to serve our community and our Lodge.

4worldlovers: Great news! The certificated 4.5% Bonus Checks have been processed and secretaries can pick them up first thing in the morning (Friday, May 26th) for distribution at your site.

The certificated Retro checks have been processed by Payroll and are ready for printing, however, the county does not have a retro printing schedule until June. The first available date for us to receive these checks is June 13th. The secretaries will be able to pick them up in the Payroll office first thing in the morning (Tuesday, June 13th) and distribute them at the sites.

We know the second paragraph could be better news, but we appreciate your patience and understanding.
