Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
Instituted in 1928, the Maine Elks Association consists of Local Lodges of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks of the United States of America. It currently has 20 member Lodges and over 10,000 men and women Elk members here in the State of Maine.
It is the purpose of our organization to unite all Elk members in closer bonds of fraternity, to further good fellowship among Lodges, to protect and promote the interests of the Order here in Maine; to exchange ideas that are beneficial to Lodges of this state; to foster the virtues of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity; and to further our patriotic devotion to the principles of the Unites States of America.
MEA Ritual Chairman Frank Ricker is planning two clinics this spring as training for all lodge officers on how to properly impress our newest members through the Impressive Conduct of the initiatory ritual. These events are still in the planning stages, as is an October Grand Lodge Ritual Clinic, to certify/re-certify Ritual Competition judges.
As you may be aware, Lodge Drug Awareness Chair Jessica Voisine has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 Breast Cancer and is undergoing treatment in Boston. On Sunday, April 7th from 4-6p.m. we will hold a spaghetti dinner at our lodge to benefit Jessica during this time of need.
