Please keep politics out of the Lodge!
Political attire is not permitted in the Lodge (Hats, shirts, etc.).
Remember the Obligation you took when becoming an Elk which states in part:
” I will never introduce into the Order, anything of a political or sectarian character, nor in any way by my conduct, bring reproach upon it”.
The Lodge is not trying to change anyone’s political views, please do not impose yours on other members while in the Lodge. Let’s all show respect to each other.

Stay well and safe.

What type of AED is being purchased. Brand, adult or adult/pediatric. I have been an EMT or higher for 44 years and have taught EMT, CPR and First Aid classes for 43 years. I retired after 28 years with LHCFD. I could help teach AED class and I have two AED trainers.
Thanks Jim,
