Americanism
Americanism Committee Director
Shelly Goodwin
Sanford Elks Lodge #1470
The ambition and goal of the Americanism Committee is to quicken the spirit of American patriotism, and to stimulate an awareness–a genuine feeling of pride and respect toward our country–so that we as members of the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks will become constant reminders to the people of our Nation that America truly means freedom and that Elks Care–Elks Share.
The Americanism Committee is charged with implementing the patriotic activities of the Order, and to assist the Subordinate Lodges in accomplishing as many of these programs as possible. Details of some of these programs are available below:
