Oswego Elks Lodge No.271 recently hosted an
official visitation to the Ontario District by the NYS Elks Association
President William J Reedy, Jr. They held
an awards dinner recognizing local Police and Sheriff Officer’s as well as
Eagle Scout and Student of the Month honorees. Oswego Elks Lodge No.271 is proud
and honored to hold this event each year and recognize all those who dedicate
their lives to helping and protecting the citizens of their community. They are
all heroes in our eyes and we thank them and their families for your dedication
and service.
This year the event was dedicated to two
additional people. Michael Coad PER and
R. Heath.
For many years Mike chaired this event. It was the one event he was most proud of. No
one realized how much work he put into organizing the event and I would like to
thank him for what he did to make a success. His fellow Lodge Members and
friends will miss him and we will write his virtues on the tablets of love and
memory.
On January 28, 2017, the Oswego County Fire
Service lost a brother firefighter who exemplified the “Volunteer Firefighter.”
Over his 44 years in the fire service, Al touched generations of firefighters —
both volunteer and career — and they are all better for it. Along the way, Al
and his wife, Jeanette, raised three boys, who in turn gave him his pride and
joy (four grandchildren and three step-grandchildren).
A
special Lifetime Achievement award was presented to retired Sheriff Robert J.
Lighthall, the Coordinator of Oswego County’s Stop DWI program. Robert
Lighthall was Oswego Lodge’s nominee for the Enrique Camarena award for
outstanding dedication to the advancement of a drug free society. The following
Derek
Caramella was awarded Teen of the month and Ryan Tharrett was recognized for
