Volunteering Committee Plea Submitted by: David Lefebvre
Nashua Lodge of Elks is looking for volunteers to work our upcoming Elks Sponsored functions.
We hope is to get enough volunteers so we can get more members involved with our lodge activities.
When you get involved, you get to see the good we do on a daily basis. But the best reward is knowing you had some hand in supporting your lodge.
Also, by volunteering you are doing your part in assisting the lodge to be as successful as possible. Along with this if you have new ideas, we as a board are always here and want to lis-
ten. If this interests you, please keep an eye out for the next newsletter and at your lodge for upcoming volunteer times and schedules there will also be sign-up sheets at the lodge with slots to fill, please reach out to David Lefebvre for more information:
