The State President’s Monthly Message:
November 2025
Members of the Arizona Elks Association,
The Season of Giving Thanks
As we enter the month of November, I am reminded of how much we have to be thankful for as members of the Arizona Elks Association, a season of gratitude — a time to reflect on the blessings of friendship. November gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on all that we have accomplished together as Arizona Elks. It is a time to express heartfelt thanks to every member, lodge, and volunteer who continues to live the values of our Order — Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity.
Throughout the year, Arizona Elks have shown remarkable dedication to our communities and our Order. From Veterans Day observances to Thanksgiving food drives, feeding families in need, or providing comfort to those less fortunate, you have demonstrated that “Elks Care—Elks Share” is more than a motto — it is a way of life. Your compassion and dedication continue to make a lasting difference across our great state. Your continuous faithfulness ensures that our Order remains a shining example of what can be achieved when good people come together in service to others.
As we gather this month with family and friends, let us remember those who cannot be with us — our veterans serving away from home, our members in need, and those who have passed before us. May we honor them through acts of kindness and the warmth of fellowship.
As we observe Veterans Day, let us take a moment to honor those who have served and sacrificed to preserve the freedoms we enjoy. Their courage reminds us of our duty to uphold the values we cherish. Let us never forget our pledge — “So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.”
Thank You for all that you do to make the Arizona Elks Association strong and proud. May this season of gratitude fill your hearts with peace and purpose as we continue to serve together in the spirit of Elkdom.
May Your Thanksgiving be filled with love, laughter and joy – and may the spirit of Thanksgiving stay with you all year long.
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!
