To The Glasgow Community:

Two weeks ago, your Glasgow Elks Lodge 1922 hosted the Montana mid-year Elks convention, with 135 in attendance. The meeting was a huge success, and I think it is proper to give credit where credit is due.

The businesses in the Glasgow community stepped forward with advertising and financial support that attendees from other communities found to be "amazing" for a town of our size.

The comments on all the motels were simply super. The visitors reported the community to be friendly, courteous and helpful.

On Friday evening, a troupe associated with the Fort Peck Theatre "knocked it out of the park." The group was comprised of Andy Meyers, Sidney Hayward, Pam Veis, Alicia Bullock-Muth, Todd and Brittany Archambeault along with assistance from Luree Green-Chappell. The performance was a clever, culturally, respectful, docu-drama on the life and talents of Charley Russell. Standing ovation. Nearly every feedback survey listed that event as a highlight of the convention.

The meeting left us, who put it on, busting our buttons with pride and gratitude towards our community. We could not have done it alone. This town knows how to step forward to get things done. The credit and our gratitude belong to you.

Sincerely,

Scott E. Cassel

Glasgow, Mont.
