On April 25, 2009 the Calabash Elks Ritual team competed in the North Carolina Elks Ritual Contest in Greensboro NC. The team was prepared and all were decked out in their formal Ritual dress and were confident in their individual and team roles. By all accounts, they did a great job! The team represented our Lodge in fine fashion, demonstrating our Lodges commitment to the Elks values and traditions. The final results of the contest will not be revealed until the upcoming State convention in Ashville, the first week in May. It took many hours of practice and dedication by all members of the team. Our Lodge should be proud of our Ritual team and their coaches for a great job!
