Ohio Elks Association Honors Outstanding State DAP Chairpersons

The Ohio Elks Association wanted to share the outstanding DAP chairpersons for the 2022 Elk year.

First is Walt Brown, lodge Drug Awareness Chair from Gallipolis #107.  Walt must have given out DAP pamphlets to everyone in the town of Gallipolis and Gallia County. Over 13,000 pieces! From schools, to the police and sheriff departments, to the court systems, Walt made sure they all had what they needed to promote drug awareness. Great job Walt and thank you.

Next is Kim Chapman, lodge Drug Awareness Chair from Salem #305. Kim has established a great relationship with her area schools and teachers where she promotes the Drug Awareness Poster and Essay contests. This year she received 78 entries from kids in grades 3 thru 8. Her job then was to get the entries judged and sent onto her District Chairman. Great job and thank you Kim.

My last certificate for a job well done goes to Patrick Greenhill, the NE District Drug Awareness Chair from Berea #1815. Pat took on the responsibility of getting their old district trailer renovated, inside and out, including a new wrap. Even though it turned out to be way more time consuming than he originally thought, even finding the graphics proved difficult, Pat saw the project through to completion. The renovated trailer can be used to promote not only drug awareness but all Elk’s youth activities. Thank you Pat.

Each of these Elks has done an outstanding job this year to promote Drug Awareness in Ohio. Thanks again for your hard work!
