The annual budget must be approved at the last lodge meeting in April. Since we have not been able to have an official lodge meeting since March, the budget will have to be approved at the first face to face lodge meeting we can have (we can't do this via Zoom). The BOD has approved all the budget except House Committee. House Committee has finally been organized and we should be approving the budget at a ZOOM meeting on May 12th. The proposed budgets are on the Documentation Page of Members Only Section of the website. If you have an interest in the budget, please review it. Hopefully we will be able to meet on June 4th at the lodge. Due to the limitation of 10 people in a group, even with social distancing, we cannot have an open lodge meeting for budget discussion until that is lifted by the Governor.

Due to the recent announcement by Governor Cooper, along with other Elks lodges, we will be closing the lodge until further notice. We are concerned about the safety and welfare of our members, and feel this is necessary. We will still have the lease signing on March 22nd for River Park members downstairs from 4-6 pm. We hope we will be opening again soon.  Please be safe and continue to check Facebook and email for any changes. If you are in need of assistance due to isolation, please reach out to the BOD or send a comment through the website and let us know and we will try to help. Our prayers are with everyone in these ever changing times.
