Membership Pin Recipients
Grand Exalted Ruler Brian Klatt, awarded our own Sam Vance, and Christine Garrett for their efforts in sponsoring new members with the Grand Lodge Membership Pin. Congrats to them both!
Pool Fundraising Update
A very generous local family has offered to match every pool donation made through Saturday 2/28 — dollar for dollar — up to a total of $5,000!
This is our chance to take the “Jump In for the Elks Pool” Campaign to the next level. During the match window, every gift goes twice as far, helping us build real momentum and close in on our initial goals.
If you’ve been thinking about donating, now is the time to jump in — whether it’s $75, $100, or $250, it all counts and it all gets matched until we hit the $5,000 cap.
Thank you all again for your support — and a special, heartfelt thanks to the generous local family making this match possible.
