My February selection for Elk of the Month has been a member for over two years now and is always willing to lend a helping hand. This person always asks me “What do you need? What can I do?”. This exemplifies the attitude of a good Elk. This Elk can be seen lending a hand with the Ham Shack, the Maintenance Crew, Volunteer Breakfast, Bingo and most recently, has joined the Audit Committee. Now he will have his own parking space for a month! Please join me in congratulating a member who is truly Erupting with Elkdom, Jim Page, my February Elk of the Month.

Karen can be seen at almost all lodge meetings and always has a smile on her face. She is always greeting new members and making them feel welcome. She is always willing to help anyone and has pretty much helped everyone at one time or another. Her attitude is always uplifting and she truly has the lodge’s best interest at heart. The hours Karen has put in to make this lodge better are countless including fundraising for our ritual team, ENF, the Christmas Basket program, the Purple Pig and Youth Activities, attending almost every fundraiser and activity at our lodge and so much more. From stuffing Easter eggs and conducting the Easter egg hunt to leading children in song at our Christmas party and at our many trips to St. Olaf’s pre-school, to working with our local schools to help less fortunate children to rallying the troops and raising money to support many other youth activity programs, Karen is truly erupting with Elkdom.
