"We travel the country and never have had a poor experience staying in our small van with our fellow Elks - until Modesto, CA. As always, I went in to "check in" and get guidance on where we should park. The ER welcomed me/us and I thought all was good. It was dark and pouring down rain and we got a phone call of an emergency from home, so we didn't "immediately" move our mini-van to our intended parking spot. Unbelievably, next thing we knew while on the phone was pounding SO HARD on our door that I thought it was going to break the glass. An extremely drunk man was berating us, yelling at the top of his lungs that we needed to vacate the property. I explained that we been given permission by the ER a few moments ago to spend the night. He continued to be aggressive and we actually feared for our safety. He was ultimately pulled away by others as they awkwardly tried to apologize for his behavior. My question, is this: How and WHY is this tolerated? This is not okay. We Elks are held to a higher standard. If anyone in our lodge #944 did this, they would no longer be an Elk. My spouse and I were extremely shaken by this incident."
