June 2026

Hello to all, June is here and it looks like summer weather is finally starting to begin.  After that brutal winter we just endured I know I welcome the warmer sunny days ahead. 

We continue to work towards bringing more fun events, dinner and live entertainment to our lodge to provide a fun atmosphere to visit our lodge. Last months Building Maintenance fundraiser was a great success and fun night had by all.  I’d like to thank the band Hot Kogan who kept the dance floor full all night long and the many volunteers who helped run the event.  I’d also like to thank the many people who donated gift baskets and items for the raffles.  I was very proud of everyone coming together that evening for our lodge.

Sunday June 14th is a very important day at our lodge.  It is Flag Day and we are the hosts of this years parade and ceremony.  The parade that day starts at 11am.  If any members are interested in marching that day with our lodge, helping with the float or willing to help in any capacity please see Leading Knight Karen Miller or myself.  A lot of hard work goes into making this event special and we are proud to be this years host lodge. 

This past month was our NYSEA Spring conference at the Villa Roma Resort in Callicoon NY.  It was a very fun and informative weekend.  It was an honor to be able to watch our new  State President Michael Sage as well as many other state officers be installed.  It is always a great heart warming feeling to be surrounded by so many nice people that share the love for Elkdom.  Attending these conferences always proves that the Elks is the greatest organization in the world with the Best People On Earth.  

If you ever have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.

Fraternally yours,

Anthony “Demo” DeMiceli
