Using funds from an Elks National Foundation Beacon Grant, our lodge delivered 20 food baskets to St. Vincent DePaul, for families in need. Thank you to the members who donated turkeys and to ER Renee for securing the remaining ones. Special thanks to Dick and Joyce Crudele, for doing the shopping and assembling all the baskets, and to Seneca Foods for donating the canned vegetables.

On the local level, we recognize the top 3 finishers in each division (Gr. 5-6; Gr. 7-8) at a presentation ceremony at our lodge with prizes of $100, $50, and $25 Visa gift cards.
