Attending this clinic was the future Grand Exalted Ruler Bruce Hidly of upstate New York and his lovely wife Ellen Hidley. During these required clinics twice a year all the Lodges in the Vt. Elks south must attend and learn new Elks information, such as Drug Awareness, Scholarship, Elks National Foundation, Membership news on how to get new members, Elks Charities reporting, etc. It is a very informative day for the Elks officers.
