SCEA SOCCER SHOOT NEWS
2022-2023 Soccer Shoot Schedule
(2021-2022) This "Gritty Kid" Carter Middleton from Greenville won the Elks National Soccer
Shoot in the U-16 Boys division. We call him gritty because for several years he has
participated in the local Greenville Elks Soccer Shoot and never advanced past
the local level. With practice, perseverance, and dedication he dug down deep and
overcame those setbacks and went on (during his last year of eligibility) and won
at the local, district, state, and regional levels and of course ultimately won
the Elks Youth National Soccer Shoot for the year 2021-2022. He represented
South Carolina Elks valiantly at the Florida Elks youth Camp, oh and by the way
was the overall high scorer during the Regional Contest, GOOD JOB CARTER!!!!!

SOUTH CAROLINA ELKS TRAINING 2021-2022
After much discussion and thought and the direction from our State President Kenny Martin as well as the approval of our Executive Board and Special Deputy GER, The State Elks Training will be on line, at the Grand Lodge website. Due to the pandemic/Covid-19 and not being able to meet safely at this time, we have decided to use the tools the Grand Lodge has provided at Elks.org. We want all of the South Carolina Lodges and all of your officers to take part in this training.
Who takes the training:
This would include ER, Leading, Loyal, Lecturing Knights, Chairman of the Trustees and or the Board of Director as well as the other 4 board members, Secretary, Treasurer, Esquire, Chaplain, Inner Guard, and Tiler. We are also asking that any past or future officer, or any member from your respective Lodges participate in taking this training.
We will be awarding the Lodge with the most members that log on to Elks.org and completes the training.
We have gotten the approval from the Executive Board to use the money in the budget normally set aside for training to use for prize money.
The prize money will be split three ways and given to the lodge with the most participants in each district.
Training required:
There are three training courses on the Grand Lodge website, a fourth is listed as (Veterans Chair Quiz) which is not part of this training, however if you are compelled to do it while you are logged on, feel free.
The (3) training courses that are required to complete are:
"Local Lodge Officer Training Course", "Board of Directors, Lodge Trustee & House Committee Training Course", and "Local Lodge Secretary Training Course"
Where to find the (3) training courses:
Create an on-line access account with the Grand Lodge at Elks.org, if you don't already have a pin number. (your member number will be required to create an account). Once you're logged on go to the search window and type in "training courses".
On this page find Elks.org :: Lodge Training (click on that.) There will be (3) courses and (1) quiz listed. We are concerned with the (3) courses noted above.
Publications required for the training courses:
Elks Statutes Annotated and Grand Lodge Auditing and Accounting Manual.
If you do not have the latest copy of these publications you can find them on line at Elks.org for reference or download and printing or ask your lodge secretary.
When does this training start and have to be completed by?
This training starts immediately. We are requiring the Lodge Officers to complete it by the 31st of July 2021. The more members you have log on and complete this training the more of a chance you have at your lodge winning the prize money. The winning Lodge in each district will be awarded at the Summer Convention in Myrtle Beach.
How to get more members involved in Elk Training this year?
It may be to your advantage to have a group in your lodge go through the courses together, you can make this into a training session and ask the questions on the quizs of each course to the group and have them refer to the publications for the proper answers. Once all the courses have been completed each person would need to log on to the Elks.org website and log their own answers in each course for your lodge to get the credit for each member.
We will be monitoring the lodges through the honor roll on the GL website. For members to be counted, they must make the "HONOR ROLL".
If there are any questions please call Tim Anderson (Training Chairman 2021-22) (843-200-3057), or call your District VP, or you District DDGER
MAKE IT FUN, and GOOD LUCK
