On Wednesday, May 11th, 2016, a group of NC Elks Attended the NC State Veteran’s Council “Veterans Legislative Day” at the NC Legislative Building at 16 West Jones Street, Raleigh, N.C.

NCSEAI State Chairman of the Elks National Veterans Service Commission Lee Littiken along with Paul Hampton, NCSEAI State Chairman of Government Relations Teddy Acton, his wife Vickie and

East District Chairman Jack Strickland set up their NC Elks Booth with a beautiful display board of NC Elks Lodge Activities across the State of North Carolina.  There were handouts for visitors of our ENVSC Flyers, along with lapel pins to “Support the Veterans”.  Refreshments of baked cookies and bottle water were given out to visitors during the day.

Our delegation met with Speaker of the House Tim Moore in the House Chambers at 10:00 AM that morning.  Lee Littiken and other members of the council met with Senator Pate at 8:30 AM that same morning to review our 2016 Legislative Goals.  North Carolina is 8th in the nation with a veteran population of 775,020.  This annual Veterans Legislative Day is done to help our House of Representatives and Senators become aware of our veterans needs, providing assistance to them in passing such House & Senate Bills introduced.
