Dear Members and Friends of Canyon Elks Lodge 2887,
My name is Buck Buckley, and in February of 2026 I was special assigned as Exalted Ruler of Canyon Elks Lodge 2887. It is an honor to step into this role during an important time for our lodge.
Our lodge had been inactive for six months. The goal now is simple. Bring our lodge back to strength by working together as members and reconnecting with our community.
We are not alone in this process. David Zint has been appointed as Special Representative from the Texas State Elks Association and Grand Lodge. He is guiding us through this season of rebuilding and helping ensure we return to full compliance and stability.
Here is what has been accomplished so far:
- All outstanding bills have been brought current.
- The lodge is back in good standing with Grand Lodge.
- Bank account communication with Grand Lodge has been restored.
- Payments to Grand Lodge are now current.
- Funds from Grand Lodge can now properly flow back into our lodge account.
- Our social media accounts have been reclaimed.
- Access to the CLEMS system has been restored.
These were critical steps. Without proper financial alignment and system access, we could not move forward.
I am also pleased to share leadership updates. Stephanie Parker has been appointed as Secretary of Canyon Elks Lodge 2887. We have appointed two new Trustees, Craig and Casey Brucker, to help guide the lodge during this rebuilding phase.
This is a fresh start. The foundation has been reset. Now we focus on participation, fellowship, service, and community engagement.
The success of this lodge will not rest on one person. It will depend on all of us. I invite every member to step forward, attend meetings, share ideas, and help shape the future of Canyon Elks Lodge 2887.
Together, we will bring this lodge back.
Fraternally,
Buck Buckley
Exalted Ruler
Canyon Elks Lodge 2887
