N OTE FROM EXALTED RULER

The Eleventh Hour

LODGE INFORMATION

Ladies and Members:

The month of May

was full of excitement at the lodge with every-one working and enjoy-

ing the activities. The Inaugural Ball was just

perfect and fun. Then, we held our Chili and

Bean Cook-Off- great food - and I saw lots of folks having a good

time. And how about that cakewalk???? The

ladies did a tremendous job selling all those

cakes. Mothers were

given the royal treat-ment on Mother‘s Day

thanks to Mike Smith and crew with a deli-cious brunch meal.

It‘s exciting to watch a team working on a pro-

ject together, sharing ideas, making decisions and not always agree-

ing but building friend-ships and getting to

know each other. When the project is complete

the huge feeling of pride that has devel-oped from the accom-

plishments of working as a team.

Invite your family and friends to be a part of

our team.

We wel-

come fresh

new ideas

and energy

they can

bring.

Fraternally yours,

Lanora Turner

I Am Old Glory

I am Old Glory: For more than eleven score years I have been the

banner of hope and freedom for generation after generation of

Americans. Born amid the flames of America’s fight for freedom, I

am the symbol of a country that has grown

from a little group of thirteen colonies to a

united nation of fifty sovereign states.

Planted firmly on the high pinnacle of

American Faith my gently fluttering folds

have proved an inspiration to untold mil-

lions. Men have followed me into battle

with unwavering courage. They have

looked upon me as a symbol of national

unity. They have prayed that they and

their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life, liberty and pur-

suit of happiness, which have been granted to every American as the

heritage of free men. So long as men love liberty more than life it-

self; so long as they treasure the priceless privileges bought with the

blood of our forefathers; so long as the principles of truth, justices

and charity for all remain deeply rooted in human hearts, I shall

continue to be the enduring banner of the United States of America.

Originally written by Marine Master Sergeant Percy Webb (1879 –1945) Sergeant Webb wrote this famous

Flag tribute in the original ―Our Flag‖ booklet distributed at the Chicago World‘s Fair, 1933.

Volume 1, Issue 4, 2nd Edition Page 5

The BPO Elks Flag Day Ceremony will begin on Satur-

day, June 14, at noon at the Lodge. Please arrive by 11:45

a.m. so that everything can be in place to begin at noon.

Sheri Miller has a fantastic program planned, along with a

few surprises; don’t miss this year’s ceremony!

This is an excellent opportunity to provide a bit of

flag protocol education and sense of reverence regarding our

the symbol of our country to those too young to have

learned during a time when citizenship was considered just

as important as math, science and English. Since standard-

ized testing was instituted, few ―frivolous‖ subjects have

survived the curriculum; it wasn‘t until our children started

getting obese that those overseeing state curriculums starting

realizing the errors of removing recess time from the school

day.

I fear that the same is true of the ―citizenship‖ les-

sons that students used to learn in school. Unfortunately,

since most of these lessons were interwoven throughout the

day and school year, the damage caused from the students

not receiving this instruction is not as clearly correlated. It

is clear, however, that many students do not know right

from wrong, do not have a problem with cheating or using

someone else‘s work and do not know even the most basic

tenets of being a good neighbor. These results have

been documented in many studies conducted on the un-

der 25 generation.

This leaves an educational gap that the Elks can and

should be able to fill. Providing information about our

Flag will be the first step of many on this journey.
