Exalted Ruler Steve Smith
March is my last month as Exalted Ruler—a time to reflect
on the year and our accomplishments. The Fill the Bus pro-
gram was a great success, which led to another Grant from
the Elks National Foundation for the Beaverton Resource Center to help fami-
lies in the Beaverton area. Christmas Baskets this year was a huge success,
helping 80 families and 10 veteran families. These two programs gave us me-
dia coverage that I haven’t seen in the 16 years I’ve been associated with Bea-
verton Elks Lodge. It was great seeing us on TV on Christmas evening. Great
job 1989! Dan, I’ll be there for you and the Beaverton Lodge when you need
me. With much Brotherly Love, Steve.
