On December 7th, lodge memnbers and community volunteers gathered at the lodge to wrap and package gifts and goodies
for troops in Afghanistan. WIth funding from a Gratitude Grant from the Elks National Foundation, cash and goods
donated by the lodge members and items collected in the community, the team was able to send 14 cases
of Christmas gifts for the soldiers. Along with several hundred hand and foot warmers, we shipped out
out a mixed supply of snacks, stationary, batteries, books, religious items, board games, toys, and some
ping pong balls and cups for beer pong. The ourpouring of generosity was overwhelming and most
sincerely appreciated. The packages will arrive in time for Christmas.
