Hi, everyone and welcome to April. April showers bring May flowers! Okay maybe not in the desert of Arizona, but it does welcome in the burning hot days of summer and a new Exalted Ruler. I am extremely excited about being the ER for a second time and cannot wait for the opportunity to improve on some of the things that I could have done better in my 1st go around. I am quickly remembering that there is much to do and little time to prepare for the things that are coming up, and boy do they come up in a hurry. So far, I am slowly remembering all that I must do and the many responsibilities that come along with the position. I hope only to follow in the big shoes that have come before me and help guide us in the right paths to maintain our prosperity and help with our growth going forward!
I would like to extend a great thank you to Ron (and the Exalted Ruler’s Ruler Marie) for a fantastic year, and to all the officers, trustees, and committee members for all their hard work and for that they have done for the lodge. Without our hard-working members our club could not exist. I would also like to thank all that have stepped up and returned to their previous roles with the lodge or have accepted new roles within the lodge. I believe we will have a great year together. I am still in need of A Youth Activities Coordinator and Hoop Shoot and Soccer Shoot Chairpersons. Please contact me if you have any interest in helping in those positions.
To wrap up March we had a terrific Awards night that was put on by Ron. Everything was fantastic and we had the opportunity to honor some terrific and hard-working Elks. Holy Toledo Pizza catered food, but we had the chance to sample some of their award-winning Mexican food.
April brings us to some pretty important events that are coming up. We have our Have a Heart Mimosa Brunch on April 13th from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, for $25 per person. Please join us for some good food and Mimosa’s and help us support AEMP where all the proceeds will be donated.
We will also be having our Charity Darts Tournament to support our Veterans causes on April 20th at 4:00 pm. Sign up is $25 per person with prizes awarded. We are also holding a silent auction in conjunction with the tournament. If you have any connections or can get any prizes for the auction, please drop them at the lodge or get them to Kayleen Borah. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I would just like to again thank everyone who will be helping out and resuming their positions and our brand-new officers and chair people who have taken a big step in becoming more involved with our lodge!!
Thanks all and have a fantastic April!!!!
Doug
Howdy, again!
Guess what, I am back, and is it really April already??!!
I am really looking forward to being the Leading Knight for this year and working with Doug to make it a great year for our members. I would also like to thank Larry W for his great service and look forward to working with him as a trustee.
The lodge is going to hit the ground running this new Elk year with great events and opportunities for everyone to lean in to being an Elk and helping our charitable giving.
Make sure that you check out Pam and Jan’s articles for the various events, but I do want to point out a couple of special events. On 13.April we will have a Mimosa Brunch hosted by Cindy and Lisa to support the Elk’s Major Projects. Then on 20.April we will be having a Dart tournament to support our amazing Veterans Committee.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, you can always reach out to me via email (pslates1987@gmail.com) or phone (520) 268-2375
Take care,
Paul
Happy Spring, everyone! What a great year we’ve had. I want to thank the committee chairs that have done such a great job getting their event reports to me. These are very important. This is where Grand Lodge sees what we have been doing and where they get the numbers for that banner currently hanging on our front door gate. April first we start over so if you have anything for this year, please get it to me.
Since April 1 is the beginning of our fiscal year, your 2023-2024-member card and key card will no longer be valid. Please get your dues paid ASAP to get your new card and key.

Greetings all. Another year has come and gone. Which leads me to this, my final message as President of the PER Association.
It’s been a great year, and I never realized how much the PERs actually do until I became one.
Our Exalted Ruler, Ron, has had a great year and is about to become the newest Past Exalted Ruler. This puts him in place to relieve me as President of the PERA. Congratulations Ron, and well done!
We recently voted to donate $500 to the Easter Shopping Spree.
We also donated $500 to the Stuff A Bag campaign for the Homeless. Jan Trudeau with the help of 20 wonderful volunteers was able to stuff 150 bags for the Homeless. Great job everyone.
I want to thank all of the PERs for your continued support throughout this year, not only to me, but to the Lodge. Thank you!!!
