Linda Fisher - Esteemed Lecturing Knight
How long have you been an Elk and what made you run for office?
I've been an Elk for 6 years. When I first became an Elk I never thought of being an Offi
cer until 2 years ago. Our current Exalted Rule, Dave Biggins, was in his 2nd term and asked me if I would like to be Inner Guard. I was little hesitant, but I agreed. I am currently serving as Esteemed Lecturing Knight.
What is your role as Esteemed Lecturing Knight?
My "role" as Esteemed Lecturing Knight is Brotherly Love. This is very touching to me. When I recite my "role" during the Ritual, I feel it deep inside. Brotherly Love is exactly what everyone should be. Elk or not. It is friendship, words of kindness, acts of kindness, sympathy, etc. If everyone felt it like I do, can you just imagine how we’d all get along?
What do you find most rewarding in being an Elk?
What I find most rewarding in being an Elk is helping the unfortunate. It makes be feel all warm inside. It can be a lot of work but in the end it is most rewarding
Do you have a particular charity or program in which you're most interested?
I really don't have a particular charity that I am most interested in. I'm an ELK and all charities are important. If I really had to choose, it would be a toss-up between the Veterans and Special Needs Children.
