Elks Featured in The Chronicle-Telegram

June 16, 2020 By elyriaelks

The Elyria Elks were featured in an article published by The Chronicle-Telegram newspaper on June 15, 2020.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

ELYRIA — The Stars and Stripes serve as a steady symbol in times of turbulence, Chuck Martin told attendees Sunday at the Elyria Elks Lodge #465 ceremony in honor of Flag Day.“Everywhere you look, you see strife, pain and dissension within our United States,” said Martin, who is the exalted ruler of Elks Lodge #465. “However, the one constant that we have throughout all of this is the American flag, and what it represents in the freedoms and liberties and protection that it offers us.”

Exalted Ruler’s Message – June 2020

June 8, 2020 By elyriaelks

I hope that this month’s message finds you all safe, in good health and good spirits. Unfortunately due to unforeseen developments the re-opening of Elyria Elks Lodge 465 has been rescheduled to Monday June 15th. The Lodge Officers, Trustees and dedicated member volunteers have worked hard to implement the State of Ohio’s social distancing guidelines and cleanliness protocols. They are being put in place to protect our employees, members and their guests. They will be posted throughout the Lodge and will be enforced. Anyone choosing to ignore them will be asked to leave the Lodge. However, due to the complicated nature of the guidelines the Lodge leadership feels that we are not in a position to meet the original target date of June 1st.

Changes of note are as follows:

• Entrance and exit to the Lodge will be through the Second Street entrance only
• Until further notice members do not have to be present to win the weekly drawing
if they are signed up and their name is drawn.
• Smoking will not be permitted on the front porch area of the Second Street
entrance.
• New smoking areas will be established in the parking lot.
• Restroom occupancy will be limited to one person at a time. Temporary locks
have been added to the restroom doors to help manage this.

In partnership with the Elyria American Legion Post we will participate in our annual
Flag Day Ceremony on Sunday June 14th starting at 1:00 p.m. At this writing the venue
has not been determined. We hope to be able to conduct the ceremony in the
downtown square across from Elyria City Hall. If this site is not available the ceremony
will be held in the parking lot of the American Legion located on the corner of Gulf
Road and Ohio Street. Once a decision is made the location will be posted to our
Facebook page and website at https://elyriaelks.com

We should all be grateful to our members that have worked hard behind the scenes
to prepare the Lodge for our June 15th re-opening. They exemplify what it means to
be an Elk. I would like to list them by name but am fearful that I would inadvertently
miss someone. You all know who you are and know that you have my deepest gratitude
and respect.

In closing, we need everyone’s support and cooperation to comply with the social
distancing guidelines that have been put in place so that this work for all of us. Thank
you in advance for your understanding and support!

Until then, stay safe, look out for family, friends and neighbors and know that you
all remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Fraternally Yours, Chuck Martin ER
