Father’s Day Brunch
The Father’s Day Brunch went o without a hitch, on Saturday, June 17th, thanks to the organizing by Chairman Lorana Laliberte and Terry Cloutier. Sandy Point Catering put on a Fabulous Breakfast Bu et and it was enjoyed by the many that joined us to kick-o , yet, another new tradition at our Lodge for our families to enjoy for years to come!
We had the great honor of paying tribute to John Loiko and presenting him with the Lodge Cane, which represents his 62 years of Membership and his being the longest tenured Member of our Lodge. John was also honored with the 1st “Father” of the Year Award. It was heartwarming to see our Members Lounge lled with family, friends and fellow Elks to share in this special occasion. Congratulations, John, we thank you for your loyalty, dedication and commitment to Elkdom.
We were also honored to share a special moment at our Lodge when Dave Hassen, Maine Elks Association Veterans Chairman presented John Brennan with an Eagles Cane in Honor of his Service to our Country. John has been a member of our Lodge for the past 2 years. John, we thank you for your service and want you to know that we are very proud to have you in our midst.
Congratulations!
