Utica BPOE Lodge 33 recently held an awards banquet to honor three individuals who have been quite active with the business of this lodge.<\/p>\n

Our \u201cElk of the Year,\u201d Kathy Kraus, volunteered to undertake the Public Relations position and then again to also take on our lodge bulletin when that need arose. She does a great job keeping the rest of us informed along with Utica and surrounding communities of upcoming activities here at the lodge.<\/p>\n

Ann McDonald, our \u201cOfficer of the Year,\u201d has taken on numerous activities in the lodge, is a Past Exalted Ruler, and this will be her eighth year as lodge Secretary plus numerous officer positions.<\/p>\n

The third person who is most deserving is our \u201cCitizen of the Year,\u201d Walt Grzesik. Walt is Scout Master of Boy Scout Troop 111. He has been\u00a0associated with this troop for many years and has helped many area boys learn\u00a0how to become learned and responsible young men. His troop has helped 69\u00a0scouts reach the rank of Eagle, an outstanding feat, with the last two being his\u00a0own sons Walter Jr. and Roman Grzesik.<\/p>\n

Jointly we thank these three individuals for contributing their time, energy and skills to help keep Utica Lodge 33 moving forward in keeping with our motto,\u00a0\u201cElks Care, Elks Share.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
