Councilmember Karen White stated, I would like to just say congratulations on one-hundred and twenty-five (125) years of service, not only to the Lodge itself but also to the South Bend community. It's very wonderful to be able to sit here and be able to recognize each and every one of you on behalf of the organization in regards to the excellent work that you have done in our community, but also the various projects that you have supported throughout the years. Congratulations, and we wish you another one-hundred and twenty-five (125)years. Councilmember Gavin Ferlic stated, Congratulations on a really impressive milestone. Councilmember John Voorde stated, Thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do. Councilmember Dr. David Varner stated, Congratulations to you all. Best wishes for another one-hundred and twenty-five (125) years. Just as a matter of historical perspective,when I graduated from high school, I had dinner with my dad at the old Lodge downtown,next to the Tribune. It was a very grand event to have had dinner there. I remember it to this day. Councilmember Jo M. Broden stated, Thank you so much. Your impressive work in the community is well known, but this amplifies it even more so. Happy anniversary, and thank you very much. Councilmember Randy Kelly stated, As a young boy, I spent a lot of time swimming over at the Elks, and bowling with my mother,which are some of my fondest memories. Thank you so much for all of your work. Councilmember Regina Williams-Preston stated, I was just talking to someone about the really amazing work that so many people do in the community that doesn't often get this kind of recognition, but it's certainly appropriate at this time, at this amazing milestone,to say thank you, and to lift up all the wonderful things that you do, and to let you know how much we really appreciate all the support that you've given. It's the organizations like yours that really make this City what it is today. Thank you so much, and don't be surprised when I come down for a membership application, too. Councilmember Tim Scott stated, Thank you all for what you have done. It is truly an honor for us to recognize you. I think this is what is wonderful about this City and this Council—we bring all walks of life in and honor them in what they do. I'm a transplant from St. Louis. My dad was an Elk there. I spent many a time running around the Elks Club in St. Louis. It's truly an honor. I appreciate everything that you guys do.
