The State President’s Motto:
“Taking Care of Business the Elks Way”
The State President’s Monthly Message:
February 2026
Members of the Arizona Elks Association,
Happy Valentine Day to all.
February is a month that reminds us of the power of commitment—commitment to one another, to our communities, and to the principles that define the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. I am continually inspired by the dedication shown by you, our members, across the Great State of Arizona.
February finds Arizona Elks fully engaged in taking care of business—the Elks way. As we move through February, you can be proud of the way our Lodges continue to meet their responsibilities with dedication, integrity, and a genuine commitment to service. Across our Association, I see commitment, accountability, and service in action, and it reflects the strength of Elkdom in Arizona.
Taking care of business means honoring our obligations to our veterans, supporting our youth, and serving our communities with compassion and consistency. It also means running our Lodges with purpose—respecting our traditions, supporting our officers, and working together to ensure long-term success.
This is the time of year when teamwork truly matters. Strong communication, mutual respect, and active participation are essential as we prepare for the months ahead. Each Lodge and each member plays a vital role, and every effort—large or small—helps move us forward. Take a moment to thank a fellow Elk, welcome a new member, or reach out to someone who may need encouragement. When we work together, communicate openly, and support one another, our efforts become stronger and more meaningful thereby ensuring our Association will continues to thrive.
As we move forward, let us remain focused on our mission and be proud of the standards we uphold, through service, and dedication—we honor our Order and secure its future.
Thank you for all you do for your Lodge, your community, and the Arizona Elks Association. By staying focused on our mission and supporting one another, we will continue to take care of business the Elks way and leave our Association stronger for those who follow.
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!
