In recognition of the outstanding service and dedication that Past Exalted Ruler Anne Leetch has demonstrated as a member of the Medford Lodge of Elks, I hereby make a motion that she be granted Honorary Life Membership. Sister Anne was initiated into our Lodge in 2001. She has progressed through the chairs and was elected Exalted Ruler in 2007. From the time that Anne became a member of our Lodge she has served on every committee in this Lodge. Anne is currently active with the Hoop Shoot, Dare Day, and Dictionary Program, Veterans, ENF and the Annual 911event for Medford Firefighters. In addition, Anne is currently one of our Ritual coaches. Anne always makes herself available to lend a helping hand whenever the need arises am continues to be a valuable resource to the officers and members.
