Elk of the Month
Eric Thorsen
Congratulations to our Elk of the Month for September, Eric Thorsen! It’s hard to know where to begin when saying how much Eric does for our Lodge. He is our Maintenance Chairman and does an outstanding job with his committee in maintaining our Lodge. Many projects happen at the Lodge due to Eric’s planning, organization, and hard work. He has stepped up time and again to support me in my efforts and with projects, often saving our Lodge a great deal of money through his work. If you were to see the Maintenance list of what it takes to maintain our Lodge, you would know that this volunteer position is demanding. Eric takes his position seriously, yet always seems to enjoy what he is doing. He is very much a behind the scenes person and is humble, kind, and quick to help anyone, especially an Elk in need. The list of projects that Eric has overseen, just since April includes, the Finger Piers project, Kitchen maintenance projects, the Tiki Bar Stool Project, Lodge Security, Workdays, ongoing Parking Lot projects, and much more. Eric also knows his way around the Lodge kitchen as we recently saw when he led the team that prepared the delicious pork chop dinner on Pork Chop night in August. Please take time to thank Eric for all he does for our Lodge.
