All Maine Elks:
On Sunday October 27, 2024, there will be a Ritual Clinic at the Waterville #905 lodge at 9 a.m. The Clinic will be presented by Grand Lodge Ritual Chairman Bruce Brunelle.
All areas of our initiatory Ritual will be explored and discussed. As the Toast & Flag Presentation are part of the initiatory ritual those contests will be covered as well.
Certifications for floor, word and computer judges will be offered. Any member of the order can certify as word or computer judge and Past Exalted Rulers and Exalted Rulers can take first & final approvals for floor judge certification. Information on
coaching and officer aids will be reviewed. Lunch will be at noon followed by a live performance by the Waterville officers for the judging test. Word and computer certification will also be presented.
All certified judges whose certification expires this year should make plans to attend this clinic for recertification. This will be the only clinic offered in Maine this lodge year for Grand Lodge Certification.
Please contact me as to how many members of your lodge will be in attendance so they may plan for lunch accordingly.
Fraternally,
Frank L Ricker, PSP, PDDGER
Ritual Chairman, Maine Elks Association
