I am confident that it will have been a great success due to the dedication and commitment of our Elks Veterans Committee and the support of Chef Paul and his staff, our volunteers, the Patriot Guard, our Elks governing body, our suite of officers and members like you.

A special welcome to our newest committee members. We look forward to your input and your fresh perspective. Much thanks to you all.
