The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks pauses on the first Sunday in December every Year to reflect on the memory of our Departed Members. It is a time of remembrance. This solemn ceremony to Cherish the memory of our departed members is an important tradition and helps define our Fraternity as a Benevolent order. This reverent ceremony has been observed in Lodges throughout Elkdom since 1889. Of course, our devotion to these Members is not limited to one day, but shown continuously in many ways; the recitation of the Eleven O'-Clock Toast; rituals at funeral homes and graveside services; memorial services.
