I love this time of year. Cooler days and much cooler nights, the changing colors in nature, and my wife planning for holiday dinners with our family and close friends. There is also a lot going on at your Lodge. There is something listed for nearly every day of October on the Echo calendar. Check it out! Professional hockey is in full swing---IYKYK. If you are a Blues fan, check out the Missouri Elks Association website. Elks Night at the Blues is scheduled for November 2. Ticket information is on the moelks website. We have several new members in the Lodge. If you see someone you don't know, be sure to introduce yourself and make them feel "wELKome". We have some illness in the Lodge; if you know of a member ill at home or in the hospital, please let our secretary or one of the girls in the Lounge know. Sometimes a prayer is all we can offer up, and we all need someone praying for us! Like Elks across this nation, your Lodge is loud and proud: we are "Elkdoms Heart for America" in the Heartland of America! Come out and see what you have missed!
It's Great to Be an Elk!
