Exalted Ruler's Message
Welcome To Watertown Lodge #496
October 2025
Greetings! We recently attended the statewide Fall Conference at the Villa Roma resort in the Catskills. Members from our Lodge that went were Tim Kelly, Dennis Brady, Scott Hirst and myself. The hospitality rooms are very close together, which gave us the opportunity to meet enthusiastic Elks from all around the state. I attended the necessary workshops to try and learn more about Elks. The last evening, I got to meet Grand Exalted Ruler Bryan Klatt and State President John Lawless.
Our Lodge was awarded the winner of New York State Elks Association Local Lodge Website Contest for Division VI (Lodge with membership of 701 and higher).
We have many events coming up in October. Our DDGER Brian Dezell and our State Vice President Dan Shannon will be visiting our Lodge on October 2nd when we will be initiating a few new members into our Lodge.
Check out the rest of the bulletin to keep informed when events are happening. I have to be repetitive, but we really need volunteers. Please step up and get involved in your Lodge. Thank you to all that keeps Watertown Lodge 496 operational.
Fraternally yours,
ER Philip K Nuffer
