Sad Announcement

 A Sad Day In Our District 

It is my extremely sad duty to inform all of the passing of our Audit Team Chairman and Oswego Elks Lodge #271 Loyal Knight, Bill Chorley.  Bill succumbed yesterday afternoon.  He will be sincerely missed by all who knew him.  He brought enlightenment and direction to our Audit Team and he knew how to steer us in the right direction.  His knowledge and wisdom about all things Elk was astounding.  Please remember Bill and his family, especially Lolly, in your thoughts and prayers.  "Sleep my brother and peace be with you".

When further information is received it will be passed along to all.
