ESSEX ELKS LODGE #1866 To: MEMBERS of ESSEX LODGE #1866; February 1, 2016
Soon, our Lodge Drug Awareness Committee will be distributing our annual Grand Lodge Drug
Awareness Program Bookmarks (similar to the one on the bottom of this Page), to all Schools in Eastern
Baltimore County. This program will place [1,000] Drug Awareness Program (DAP) Bookmarks into
each of [42] Elementary Schools and [11] Middle Schools on the East side of Baltimore County. This is
part of our Annual Plan for further education to our youth, with an Anti-Drug & Alcohol Awareness mes-
sage. We will need help delivering these Bookmarks, so if anyone is available to help please send me an
Email at [email protected] or call my cell: (443) 610.0935, with your availability. These schools are
located in the following Communities;
There is a need for [5] Members to help within these locations to help in delivering these Bookmarks, as I
will route these Communities into five areas to help conserve time and gas. Also, in these five areas will
include [7] Public Libraries that will receive [1,500] DAP Bookmarks. The total amount of Bookmarks
that will be distributed, when combining the schools and the public libraries will be [60,000]. This program
will reach over [60,000] homes in Eastern Baltimore County on behalf of our Lodge and the Elks Drug
Awareness Program. We need your help though, so send me an Email and give a few hours helping to deliv-
er these Bookmarks.
Thank You to any Member that can assist with the distribution of these Bookmarks and our commitment
in continuing the message of our DAP; a Drug Free Life for our Youth!!
FRATERNALLY, Joseph E. McGeeney, PER / PDDGER Lodg e Chairman – DAP
