HISTORY OF THE
ALASKA TERRITORIAL ELKS ASSOCIATION
This week marks the seventh
meeting of the Alaska Territor

known as the Alaska West Elks
Conference. The seventh annual
meeting of the association is be
ing held here in Palmer Novem
ber 4, 5, and 6 and will see Z. H.
Tessendorf of Anchorage Elks
Lodge No. 1351 as president.
Prior to the Grand Lodge rati
fication of the constitution and
by-laws and the adoption of the
name Alaska Territorial Elks As
sociation, there were three meet
ings of the Alaska West Elks con
ference. These were held at Mc
Kinley Park in 1947 and 1949 and
at Cordova in 1948.
The second convention of the
ATEA was held in Seward in
May of 1950 at which time Eugene
C. Smith was president and Ko
diak was selected for the third
convention. Cordova Lodge No.
1483 joined the association. Dur

following year one of the main
issues was determining the time
of the year to hold conventions, as
the spring season conflicted with
many business members. The fall
season was selected as the most

convention was held in that city.
Louis Odsather of the host city
was elected the fourth president.
It was during the fourth con-'

vention in November of 1951 that
Lodge No. 1842 officially joined
the association, and the first Me
morial Service was conducted.
W. L. (Dan) Lhamor: was elected
president that year.
Although Palmer was slated as
the site of the fifth convention,
lack of accomodations proved it
impracticable and Cordova re
quested the convention be held
in their city. Walter W. Sipprell
of Seward was named president
during the convention.
Last year Fairbanks was host
lodge during the sixth annual
meeting when the cerebral palsy
project was adopted. During the

vention to be held in Palmer this
