The State President’s Monthly Message:
December 2025
Members of the Arizona Elks Association,
Warm holiday greetings to all Arizona Elks, Lodges, families, and friends.
As we come to the close of another remarkable year in Elkdom, December offers us a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the good we have accomplished together. Across Arizona, our Lodges have continued to embody the true spirit of charity, unity, and community service. Whether through holiday food drives, warm-coat campaigns, veterans’ programs, youth activities, or the countless hours of volunteerism that define our Association, Arizona Elks have once again shown what it means to lead with compassion.
This season reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness can create lasting impact. As families gather and communities come alive with holiday traditions, let us not forget our neighbors who may be facing hardship. I encourage each Lodge to continue reaching out—extending a helping hand, a warm meal, or a word of encouragement. These gestures reflect the very heart of our Order.
As we prepare to welcome a new year, let us carry forward the values of Brotherly Love, Justice, Charity, and Fidelity. May this holiday season bring joy to your homes, warmth to your hearts, and renewed inspiration for the work we will continue together.
Looking ahead to the new year, the Arizona Elks Association remains committed to supporting our Lodges through training, charitable programs, and leadership development. Together, we will continue building on the strong foundation that has always defined our association.
From my family to yours, I wish each of you a joyful holiday season filled with peace, fellowship, and gratitude. Thank you for all you do in representing Arizona Elks with dignity and pride.
Fraternally,
Larry Carver, President
Arizona Elks Association

Thank you AEA Ladies and friends for all the jewelry donated to the AEA Jewelry Project. At the May convention in Tempe I reported the following:
- The Jewelry Project is under the guidance of the Past State President’s Spouses
- In one year we served over 1,100 children, patients of the six AEA Elks Clinics [our original clinic at the hospital, North Hills, Orange Grove, La Cholla, Glendale, Mesa] and the Steele Children’s Hospital plus, three Clothe a Child events held in Yuma, Kearny and Chandler chose over 2,500 pieces of jewelry for their Mothers, Grandmothers, Nanas or favorite nurse.
- This was accomplished without using any funding from AEA or Major Projects
For further information please contact me with questions at any time via dcskorupski48@gmail.com or phone 520-235-5598.
Thank You! It will make your heart swell with pride and accomplishment!
