For all Elks The Charitable Activities Report requires you to account for all your Charitable Activities from April 1st to March 31st and is to be reported to Grand Lodge on CLMS.
It is recommended to report monthly. It is the responsibility of the Lodge Government Relations Chairman to help the Secretary in getting these hours and money reported. It is important that you become familiar with the Government Relations Manual, which can be downloaded below.
This manual should be read by all of your Officers and Committee Chairman. This will help you report all Charitable Contributions to be reported to CLMS daily or monthly and finally at the end of year in each Lodge.
On May 1st of each year the Elks make a tremendous effort to gather and publish the charitable activities of every Lodge including each Committee and ladies groups.
There have been a lot of things to report, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Election Day and Military Families. Be sure to report these now, before you forget what has happened.
If Help is needed, please call or e-mail me.
