The outgoing Exalted Ruler, Phil Anderson presented awards for Elk of the Year, Officer of the Year and Citizen of the Year at the celebration. Elk of the Year honors went to a 27-year member, Brad Howard.  Brad, a longtime resident, loves being a part of the Noblesville community and that includes the Elks.  Brad is a teacher in Noblesville.
