ER MESSAGEI, along with my wife, Robin, had a chance to attend the Elks Grand Lodge National Convention in Chicago IL. There were 8,000 Elks, representing all 50 states. It's hard to imagine the excitement when there are Elks from all over our great nation in one place and all for the same reasons. Elk lodges from all 50 states were represented. We met new friends, reacquainted with old friends, ate some really good meals and saw portions of the great city, Chicago. We attended the GL sessions and was awed by everything that takes place in an event of this magnitude. It was also the 100th year celebration for the Elks National Memorial and I was able to attend that as well. This is truly a sight to see. I learned early on by attending GL Conventions that you really do attend as a member and leave as an ELK. It truly is a pleasure to serve as your ER and knowing and seeing first hand that the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is the greatest organization in America. Respectfully, Bob Donnelly ER
