kudos
PUTNAM — The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge 574 was recently recognized by Elks leadership for maintaining and increasing membership over the past year.
Local Elks received a citation of Merit from the Grand Lodge, signed by Grand Exalted Ruler Thomas S. Brazier, for outstanding contribution to the growth of the Order, “being among those lodges achieving a net gain of membership.”
The Putnam Lodge had a net gain of 3 percent in membership during the 2012 – 2013 year, according to Lodge Secretary Lisa Morissette.
Exalted Ruler Shawn Tessier said that Elk leadership often encourages membership at conventions and large gatherings, “It is important to retain old members and to promote new ones. The Putnam lodge has taken this message to heart and we do everything we can to promote and retain members…I am proud of this citation and of the members of my lodge.”
