On Wednesday March 30, 2016 members of Shenandoah Elks Lodge #1122 presented the Shenandoah Food Pantry with a check for $2,500 through the Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant program.

Gratitude Grants offer an opportunity for Elks to think about how best to serve their community and make it stronger. Gratitude Grants are the ENF’s way of saying thank you to every Lodge that meets the National President’s per-member goal for giving to the ENF. The possibilities are endless!

Gratitude Grants can be used to support local, charitable activities. Lodges use Gratitude Grants to do things like buy supplies for a homeless shelter, partner with D.A.R.E. to hold drug awareness programs in schools, or hold recreational events for people with disabilities.

The Shenandoah Elks Lodge, is a proud partner of the Shenandoah Food Pantry.  Posting current needs for the food pantry monthly on their website and Facebook pages.

Also, recently several local members volunteered to help collect donations at the local WalMart and transport to the pantry.  They assisted in putting the donations away as well as recycling containers!

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our Member, PSP Don “Hoot” Gibson.

 

“Farewell our Brother and Friend. We will miss you keenly in our councils and our gatherings. May the Great Author and Giver of Life grant unto you light and peace in the world beyond”

 

”The faults of our Members we write upon the sand, their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory.”
