"True charity is not just about the funds we raise, but the friendships we forge. A devoted Elk in service, and a faithful friend in life." Paul Crumb actually embodied these words. He was a really special man and John and I, (Maureen) , are extremely grateful that we had the privilege of traveling with him a few times this year & we got to spend a lot of quality time with him in recent months.
PAUL ❤️

********Phishing Scam Alert*********

Emails are circulating purporting to be from me, requesting assistance with Programs and Operations Expenses. This is a scam. No one from the NYSEA will request any form of financial assistance via email. If you receive any email requesting any sort of financial transaction please always check the Email Senders Address - this is usually the easiest way to tell something is amiss. If you are unsure, do nothing. Do not respond or interact. If you need further assistance please contact myself or State Secretary Renee.
