PSP John Ochanpaugh passes…

We ask that you hold the family of John Ochanpaugh and his many friends in Prayer. John passed away this morning in Des Moines following a brief illness. John was an active member and PER of Des Moines Elks Lodge #98. John served as the President of the Iowa Elks Association in 2007 and served the association for many years! “The faults of our Members we write upon the sand, their virtues upon the tablets of Love and Memory.” RIP dear Brother and friend…

Toys for Girls and Boys a HUGE SUCCESS!

The Toys for Girls and Boys event was a HUGE success!   A very BIG “THANK YOU” goes out to Doug Meyer and Doug Meyer Chevrolet!  The community “Benevolent” project to provide those less fortunate with toys for little ones was an outstanding success!  There were not one, but TWO toys provided per child as they were handed out at the Shenandoah Elks Lodge.  We had many Lodge members, Doug Meyer Chevrolet employees and area 4H members volunteering to help wrap, carry or pick out toys for this event!

Thank you to ALL who donated toys, money and or TIME for this very satisfying and worthwhile event!

May the virtues of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity ever continue to drive the actions of this shining star, Our Lodge, in this great organization The Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks! “Elks: Elevating America”!
