Remember Elks Americanism Week is September 7 - 14, 2008
 
This is a reminder to all MA Elks that the week of September 7-14, 2008 has be designated Elks Americanism Week. I would like everyone that comes to the Regional meeting on Sunday September 7, 2008 to wear Patriotic Clothing. That would be a great start to the week.  The Grand Lodge Americanism Committee moved it from February to September to coincide with September 11th Remberence.
