Message from the Exalted Ruler

Members All,

Welcome to November, I have certainly been enjoying the cooler weather. 

Hopefully everyone was able to get through the hurricane(s) and get your 

properties back in order. I will certainly be glad when this hurricane season is 

over and we can go back to our normal weather.

We continue to have a good year in Elkdom, with many events for all to enjoy. 

I have new volunteers stepping up all the time. It is nice to see new members 

coming in and supporting our cause. Not all is sweet and rosey though, we had 

to have some repairs done to the air conditioning as well as replace the icemaker. With your continued support and donations our lodge continues to grow and flourish.

I want to personally recognize Chuck Benoit as our Elk of the Month for the 

Month for October. I am honored to recognize Chuck for his countless volunteer hours. As always, we can use more volunteers, please contact Kasha Harrell to sign up at kasabsmith@yahoo.com.

I also had the distinct pleasure of witnessing the Brotherhood Ride as it made 

one of its stops in our district. The Cocoa Elks did a great job hosting the 

event. Hats off to these Ladies and Gentlemen that take the time out of there 

very busy schedules participating in the ride honoring those first responders 

that have fallen. If you have never witnessed the Brotherhood ride it is a sight 

to behold.

Queen of Hearts is now over $8,000 please come to the lodge and support, 

drawings every Monday

Please come to the second regular lodge meeting 11/15/24 to welcome the latest additions to the Viera Elks. 

Until next month God Bless you, God Bless our troops and First Responders.

Fraternally,

Thomas Carns, PDDGER
