Honoring Our Own: Elks Awards Recipients Shine Bright

At our most recent Community Honors banquet, we had the privilege of recognizing several outstanding members who exemplify the spirit, dedication, and service that define the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. These individuals have gone above and beyond in their commitment to our lodge, our community, and our shared values.

Dianna Threadgill, Officer of the Year

Recognized as Officer of the Year, Dianna has demonstrated exemplary leadership, integrity, and dedication in her role. Dianna currently serves as our Esteemed Loyal Knight. Her thoughtful guidance and active presence at the lodge have helped ensure a successful year filled with camaraderie and purpose. Dianna has led our 5th grade backpack program and our backpack program for homeless Veterans.

Kevin Maloney, Elk of the Year

This year’s Elk of the Year award was presented to Kevin, whose tireless efforts, and unwavering support for lodge activities have left a lasting impact. Whether organizing events, volunteering for service projects, or offering a helping hand wherever needed, Kevin is a shining example of what it means to be an Elk. Kevin is one of our Past Exalted Rulers.  He currently serves as our Trustee chairperson and also serves as the chair of our Hoop Shoot committee.

Cheryl Masterson, Citizen of the Year

The Citizen of the Year award was proudly awarded to Cheryl, a lodge supporter who, while not a member of the Elks, has consistently support our mission through charitable efforts, local engagement, and service to others. Her partnership has made a meaningful difference in the lives of many. Cheryl volunteers her time generously to our lodge and our many activities.

Each award represents more than a title-it’s a tribute to compassion, hard work, and the enduring spirit of service. Congratulations to all our honorees. Your contributions are deeply valued, and your example inspires us all.

Let us continue to uphold the Elks’ proud tradition of giving, growing, and making a difference-together.

Fraternally,
Debbie Greenhill, Exalted Ruler
