2019 Illinois Elk of the Year
Our Lodge has been honored once again
by
having one of our members being named as the Illinois Elk of the
Year by the Illinois Elks Association. During the May 2019
Illinois Elks State Meeting, our own Selena McBride was honored as being
the 2018-2019 Elk of the Year for the state of Ilinois. It should be
mentioned that Selena continues a rather enviable credit to our Lodge as
the Elk of the Year. Three years ago, Lodge 572 member Rick Ehlers was
selected as Illinois Elk of the Year. Two years ago, Lodge 572 member
Chuck Fager was selected as Illinois Elk of the Year. Last year, Lodge
572 member Steven Zak was selected as Illinois Elk of the Year. This
makes the fourth consecutive year that a member of our
Lodge was selected as the Illinois Elk of the Year. We must be doing
something right....
Recognizing Youth Achievement in our Communities
On May 8th,
PER, Ed Fisher, represented our Lodge in presenting Murphysboro Elks,
Student-Of-The-Year award letters to two Chester High School Seniors,
who were selected from those students who had previously won Elk
Student-Of-The-Month honors at CHS. The two winners were Jakob Cushman
and Shea Petrowske. Included with the letters were checks for $100 each,
as a way of complimenting these two excellent students, for their hard
work and accomplishments. Then, on May 14th,
PER and Scholarship Chairman, Merle Evans, attended the Murphysboro High
School Senior awards Night, and presented the Lodge 572, Local Elks
Scholarship to Eboni Clark. This Scholarship from our Lodge, is in the
