Greetings California Hawaii Elks:  I would like to share some information about ENF with you.  As you know every year the Grand Exalted Ruler requests a per capita amount and recently it has been $4.50. At our last Mid-Term Conference I challenged everyone to make our per capita double this year as the GER is a Californian.

I am thrilled to tell you that we almost did it.  YOU all made it possible to finish the 2012-2013 year with a per capita of $8.914 – an increase from the previous year of $0.88.

Because you gave more to ENF, the amount that was returned and used to start off the Exalted Ruler’s March at the CHEA convention was larger than last year as well.  ENF donated $578,960 to our Piggy Bank.  In addition, more money was returned for use in our Scholarship programs, the Hoop Shoot, Drug Awareness and our Veterans programs.

 

I want to thank you for the donations and participation of everyone during my two years as the CHEA ENF Chair.  It has been an honor to work with all of you.
