Dear Brother and Sister Elk;
It
is an honor and a great privilege to serve as your
Special Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler. In this
capacity, it is my utmost desire that we all can
work together. I ask that as an Elk you read over
and strive to learn the total meaning of your
obligation in the Order and keep it in your mind and
in your heart. By exemplifying the principals of our
Order we can set examples that will encourage others
to join us and create countless opportunities to
work together in support of our programs
demonstrating that “Elks Care, Elks Share.
Always remember and make it a practice to conduct
lodge business only in the lodge room or at meetings
of designated committees and boards so sanctioned by
Grand Lodge Statutes. In doing so you will not only
be adhering to your obligation but you will be
making a great contribution to the harmony of your
lodge.
As
I am sure you are aware, the more effort you put
into a something, the more satisfaction you get in
its achievement. I realize that the demands of
family and work come first and limit our spare time.
However, I ask that you make a concerted effort to
participate in as many of our local, state, and
national programs as may be possible. I am sure that
you will find your efforts in doing so are rewarded
by smiles, happiness, and gratitude by those on the
receiving end.
If
you feel at any time that I may be of assistance to
you please do not hesitate to contact me. I do
respectfully ask that you ensure our Sponsor, Past
Grand Exalted Frost and myself receive an
information copy of all correspondence pertaining to
our Order and your lodge whether it be written or
received by you.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Robert L. Ressler, PSP/PDDGER
Special Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler
