A HERITAGE CORNER for your Lodge
Our basic Freedoms rest on the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. An impressive arrangement of these and other documents will permit your members and others to review these important provisions and to rededicate themselves to the full performance of their duties as American citizens. ELKS ARE PROUD OF THIS HERITAGE. Each Lodge should set apart a small area as the “HERITAGE CORNER” in permanent tribute to the principles expounded by the responsible trust passed to us through the years. Historic documents, all suitably framed and mounted, together with items of local interest should be on display.
The following documents are included in a “Heritage Corner” Kit:
• The Bill of Rights
• Declaration of Independence
• Elks Resolution on Law and Order
• Elks Declaration of American Principles
• The Constitution
• The Monroe Doctrine
• The Gettysburg Address
