Once again the Veterans Service Fundraising Committee is offering label pins in honor of our Veterans and Active Duty Military Personnel. This pin depicts the American Bald Eagle wearing the We Remember dogtags in front of “Old Glory” and surrounded by the insignia of the military branches and bears the words Support our Veterans.
This pin is available for lodges to purchase at $1 per pin and may be sold at your lodge for $2 per pin, allowing your lodge to make money for its own Veterans program while supporting the State Association’s work with the Veterans.
Pins may be obtained from your Area Chairmen: Mark Ellis, markspainting@earthlink.net., Area 1; Maureen Foley, mofowatertown@live.com, Area 2 and, Linda Naczas-Erhard, Marinemom69@aol.com, Area 3. No pins will be handed out without payment and the order form which is available at this site. All checks should be made out to the Massachusetts State Elks Association and have Vets Pins noted in the memo field. Pins will be available from the Area Chairmen at the State Convention.
Also
on sale and available from Mark Ellis or myself are polo shirts in support of
our Active Military, these shirts have an embroidered message Massachusetts
Elks, An Army of Hope, Until They All Come Home. These shirts will not only
benefit our Veterans Fund but also a portion of the profits are being donated to
the Massachusetts Elks Scholarship Fund. There will be a supply of Shirts
available at the Convention and an order form is available on this site. Most
shirts are $15 and must be paid for on receipt.
I am available to you at any time should you have any questions. I may be reached at donnaslo@aol.com or on my cell phone, 413-262-9226.
Fraternally,
Donna L. Slocombe, Chairman
