Elks Presented with Proclamation

New York State Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci joined the Huntington Elks Lodge to honor local veterans and presented a proclamation from the New York State Assembly to Martin Rosenthal, President of the New York State Elks at the Huntington Elks Lodge 1565 during a recent dinner meeting.  November is "Elks National Remembrance Month" which focuses on the Elks commitment to uphold the pledge to "..never forget our veterans" and to show gratitude and appreciation for the men and women who have served and who presently serve our country.

The Elks are a vibrant organization which support the local community where their lodges are located.  Part of the Elks Lodge efforts center around veterans, recognizing what they have done for us as a country, supporting them and thanking them throughout the year for their efforts.

Utilizing the theme “Elks Care – Elks Share” as a foundation for their philanthropic efforts, Elks serve people and the community through benevolent initiatives including veterans programs, drug awareness, providing scholarships to local youth and much more.

"It was an honor for us to host the dinner and have our Assemblyman present the New State Elks President with the proclamation from the assembly.  'Elks National Remembrance Month' serves a vital role as part of our ongoing philanthropic efforts in support of our country's veterans.  It is extremely important to our organization and supports our work and our pledge that 'So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them,'" explained Huntington Lodge Exalted Ruler Peter Demidovich
