His Antler's are Starting to Grow

Last night it became official. Eric is a brother of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks. He said the ceremony lasted almost 2 hours. There were thirteen new guys joining. The lodge served them all a steak dinner before hand. Eric managed to choke down three or four pieces of steak. I just don't understand how he doesn't eat steak, but likes hamburger.

Each inductee had to talk about their families and jobs. They each had to confirm that they believe in God. Then there was a lot of repeating back doctrine and taking the oath. The Elks are all about building a better future for our youth, sponsoring drug awareness programs and taking care of our veterans.

Eric jumped right in. Last Saturday he volunteered to help cook breakfast. The Lodge was sponsoring a fundraiser for East High's post prom party. He whipped up scrambled eggs for 4 hours and cleaned up. We are going to check out the fish races at the end of the month.
