Under the Spreading Antlers
They Tell These Tales of the Order
August, 1925
Nursery for San Antonio, Texas, Lodge
For the convenience of the wives of its members, San Antonio, Texas, Lodge No. 216 is maintaining a night nursery at its Home. Here mothers may leave their children when they come down-town for the evening in the knowledge that they will be well cared for. The nursery is in charge of a competent woman who has had years of experience in such work. The nursery is located in the rear section of the ladies’ parlor, and is equipped with beds, toys and everything else for the comfort and pleasure of the kiddies. This innovation is only another example of how completely this Lodge provides for its members and their families.
Georgia and South Carolina State Elks Associations Meet
Grand Exalted Ruler John G. Price was the honor guest at the annual convention of the Georgia State Elks Association held recently at Savannah. The meeting, which was opened by G. Phillip Maggioni, President of the Association, was a decided success in every way, a large number of delegates, other representatives of the Lodges, and visitors attending than at any other convention in the history of the Association. As the occasion was also marked by the meeting of the South Carolina State Elks Association, the whole city was crowded with members of the Order. The business sessions of the Georgia Association were productive of a number of resolutions indorsing wider activities in welfare work, especially in the field of education and the care of crippled children. A resolution, resented by Walter P. Andrews, member of the Grand Forum, indorsing The Elks Magazine for its usefulness to the Order, was unanimously adopted by the Convention. Among the other distinguished visitors to the meeting was Robert A. Gordon, Grand Trustee. The three days of the convention were crowded with a series of social functions, sightseeing trips and entertainments of all kinds. Especially attractive was the parade that wound up the convention. This was more elaborate than anything the city had seen in years. The many beautiful floats, excellent bands and large uniformed units were enthusiastically applauded by thousands of spectators.
