Raise dues? I guarantee this lodge will be out of business in 5 years or less
great effort going on here. however, the statutes have changed. only 50 members needed to file for a charter. Surely they know that. the difference between 50 and 100 is huge and i'll bet this lodge won't get off the ground because of it.
this new lodge would have been delayed or made impossible had the old rule of 100 been in place. I wonder who got that changed? (from 100 to 50)
PENDLETON — A new Pendleton Elks Lodge will be instituted this weekend.
About 75 members will be part of the ceremony set to start at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Greenville Elks Lodge, said Jim Vogel, a spokesman for the Pendleton Lodge.
Ceremonies on Saturday include institution of the new lodge, initiation of new members and installation of officers, Vogel said. The Greenville lodge is at 7700 Pelham Road.
"If you often see need in the community but don't know how to go about meeting it, the proposed Mount Pleasant Elks Lodge might be for you.
Leaders, including acting exalted ruler Michael Fenwrick of West Ashley, have been working for the past year to attract enough members to start an Elks Lodge in Mount Pleasant. They need about 20 more members to reach the 100 necessary for a charter. "
