My Fellow Elks,
I hope everyone is well and having a great year.
Time is flying by and we must now get ready for the Fall Workshop for 2025.
This year the FW and DD Clinic will be at the Isleta Casino and Resort as previously stated at the
Spring Convention. The Dates are 13th and 14th of September with availability to arrive on the
12th.
As in last year, there is a registration fee associated with this Fall Workshop. It is $20 and you
can register on the website and the form will immediately go to the State Secretary. You can
also pay the fee with PayPal. The State Secretary will have the registration table open starting
Saturday morning. You can utilize the online form from the NMELKS.COM website in which
PayPal is automatic, or you can search PayPal by using the nmeasecretary@gmail.com email
address, or search New Mexico Elks Association.
Room rates are $149 for King and Queen rooms and $169 for the Junior Suites. The code to lock
in these rates is FAL0925. The phone numbers are 505-848-1999 or 50-724-3800.
We will be having one hospitality room for the State on Saturday night in the Ballroom with
entertainment hosted by President Ferri.
There will be a portable bar set up by Isleta Casino and Resort and we will not be allowing
anyone to bring in their own alcohol to the hospitality room downstairs. Now, saying that, what
you do in your own sleeping rooms is up to you, but as far as an official hospitality room there is
only one for the whole state.
Saturday will be President Ferri’s Fall Workshop and Sunday will be the DD Clinic.
Any questions or comments, feel free to contact me, cjhill3@msn.com.
Johnny Hilliard, PSP, Chair
NMEA Convention Committee

Congratulations to all the newly installed State officers. This will be a great year !!
