To Our Absent Members

This year, we honored and celebrated the lives of these Seattle Elks Members who have passed into the realm of everlasting peace:
Dale Fortik
Gerald Bryson
John Cassias, PER
John Shea, PER
Ken Frazier
Michael Papish

All lodges received a letter from the Grand Lodge Office of the Grand Secretary stating the Memorial Service must be conducted in a safe manner due to COVID-19 complying with federal, state, local, county and state public health announcements, mandates, laws, rules and regulations. The letter went on to say that the Memorial Service may be postponed until a later date when this special event can take place safely, which may mean a carryover until December 2021.
