My Brothers and Sisters,
It is indeed an honor and privilege to be your State Sponsor.
As with many great organizations, the Elks of Indiana are working hard for our Veterans, children, those less fortunate and with your cancer research program, thereby continuing many proud traditions.
Every Indiana Elk should be proud of these accomplishments and should strive diligently to continue these proud traditions.
As your State Sponsor, please know that I always walk just a little taller when I have the chance to speak about what my Indiana Elks do for our great Order.
During this upcoming year, you will hear the many achievements of the programs of your State Association and Grand Lodge and perhaps, even how we all as Elks may better realize the goals for our course into the future.
Once again, let me express my deepest appreciation for the support and friendship that you given me over the years.
I always look forward to meeting with as many of you as possible during our time together.
“Elks Care-Elks Share”
Cordially and fraternally,
James C. Varenhorst
James C. Varenhorst, PGER Indiana State Sponsor

My Brothers and Sisters in the Indiana Elks,
The West Central District has bestowed a great honor on
me by electing me to represent not only them, but every
member of the Indiana Elks Association for this coming
year.
Past State President Ed Dyer and I have been working
closely together over the past year taking an unbiased
look at everything that goes on in the world of the
Indiana Elks.
Ed made some changes, and I am going to institute
more change for the coming year, especially in the
chairpersons of our State Committees. The Directors
have also gone through the State Budget and reset
some priorities. With less funds coming in, there were
cuts made to keep us balanced without depleting our
reserves.
My major emphasis this next year is going to be on
membership. We need to recruit good Elks, but we must
also retain the members that we currently have. In order
to accomplish this, I have asked Geoff Robinson from
Noblesville Lodge to serve as my Membership Chairman
and get us growing again.
Kim and I are looking forward to visiting every Lodge in
the state over this next year. As we come to visit, we
prefer things to be less formal, less stilted. We are both
Elk members and we like to mingle with everyone and
not be on “display” during a function.
My theme this year is: Make the Elks Great Again!
Perhaps you think the BPO Elks is already a great
organization? It is, but does your community know this?
Does your neighbor know what the Elks stand for? Have
you asked your family and friends to join your Lodge?
We all know “It’s GOOD to be an Elk!”, so let’s
communicate that to everyone we know and let’s
Make the Elks Great Again!.
Fraternally and Sincerely,
Tony

Elk’s Creed
Believe in the goodness in thyself as
well as in others.

reverence the memory of those who
have passed.
Observe faithfully the golden rule.
Enjoy the good things of earth, keep
within thee the glorious sunshine of
youth and remain always of good cheer.

Lodge Protocol for Dignitary Visitation
These guidelines are offered for the Lodge’s
preparation for the visitation of the State President.
This is a guide, not a set of rules. If you follow this, you
will make the event easier for all concerned. Your
officers, Lodge members and staff will know what is
expected. The President will be spared any surprises,
as these are the forms of protocol to which he is most
accustomed.
Setting The Date: Set the date of the visitation as
soon as possible. After you have set the date verbally,
confirm it in writing.
Lodge Financial Responsibility: The Lodge should
bear these expenses if at all possible.
Lodging: The Lodge should pay for the President’s
lodging. If the lodge cannot afford it, do not feel that
you have to provide it. However, if you cannot pay for
lodging, inform the President so that he has the
opportunity to make his own arrangements.
Room Amenities: If you wish, it’s a nice gesture to
place a small welcome gift in the room of the visiting
dignitaries (not only State President but Grand Lodge
Officers as well) This should depend on the length of
the visit; ex. more than one night.
Dinner and Drinks: The President and First Lady’s
dinner and drinks should be complimentary. Inform
the reservation person, bartenders, and staff of this
arrangement in advance.
Transportation: The President is responsible for his
own transportation to the motel/hotel. The lodge should
provide transportation to and from the Lodge during
his visit, and for any other events during his stay, if he
so desires.
Dress Code: If there is a theme (Western, Hawaiian,
Casual, etc.), or if it is to be a formal event you need to
inform the President and First Lady well enough in
advance in order for them to be prepared. If
there are any tours, entertainment, or special
events planned, be sure that advance notice is
also given.
Head Table: Provide a podium and/or microphone (if
necessary due to room or crowd size). The order of
seating precedence is listed in descending order. If
you have less seating, cut from the bottom up.
61
Introductions: Each President has his own criteria for introductions. The Exalter Ruler and the President should plan in advance who introduces whom. Introductions should include; Head table: Grand Lodge Officers and their Spouses, State Officers and their Spouses, Lodge Officers and their Spouses, and visiting dignitaries and their spouses.
Communication: At least two weeks prior to the visit, send a letter to the President welcoming him to your lodge. This letter should include; an agenda of events, dress code information, and the name and directions to the motel/ hotel. If planned, request for the President to speak (a special topic and length of speech). If planned, request the President to perform the 11 o’clock toast, suggested arrival time, and identification of the President’s host and hostess, if applicable.
Departure: This most often being a Sunday morning, you may or may not want to have breakfast with the President (much depends on his travel plans). Whatever your plans, make it clear to the President that you do or do not plan to see him in the morning. Make sure that the motel/hotel is aware that you are paying the lodging bill. The President should be able to check out with no payment from him expected (unless of course, he has personal charges).
Summary: The financial responsibility of each lodge will differ. The dinner and drinks at the lodge should always be provided. The President (even though they receive an allowance for the year) has expenses which far exceed the allowance given him. You should not expect him to pay for costs, which can easily be absorbed by the lodge.
Now that all preparation work is complete Enjoy your visit!

You must initiate approximately 10% of your lodge membership each year just to stay even. Indoctrination — A good first impression will become a long and lasting relationship in Elkdom. Lapsation — Start immediately, don’t wait 60-90 days. Stray Elks — Invite Elks who are members in good standing from another city or town to attend your lodge facility. Ask them to consider transferring to your Lodge. Reinstatements — Revive the former members of your lodge with the interesting aspects of Elkdom. New Lodges — If you hear of a community without a Lodge, that shows interest and desire, please contact a State Officer or your District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler. Increase Lodge Attendance — Many ideas are listed in the Grand Lodge Activities booklet. Ritual Contest Participation — This enables each lodge officer to help conduct business-like and inspiring lodge meetings, thus keeping the interest among our members and helps to increase better participation. Family Participation — Invite families to open Installation of Officers, Flag Day Ceremonies, Memorial Services , and Youth Activity programs. Community Service — Help where possible in your city or town. Let the citizens know your Elks Lodge sponsors Hoop Shoot and Scholarship Contests. Americanism — Sponsor programs which will make Americanism a living part of your community. National Service Committee — “As long as there are Disabled Veterans in our hospitals, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.” Not just a slogan but a continual deed. Elks Magazine — Read and patronize the advertisers. Elk Awards — Elk of the Year, Citizen of the Year, and Officer of the year awards. This gives you the opportunity to recognize those who have helped promote not only Elkdom, but also your community. Cancer Research — Indiana Elks major project. Each Lodge supports this annually. Approximately $8.5 million have been donated to date.
