Trailblazers: Shallotte Elks begin planning for veteran memorial in town | BrunswickBea... - 0 views

    "Bob Janovic, exalted ruler of the two-year-old Shallotte Elks Lodge, noticed soon after moving here that, while Shallotte has Memorial Day services and veterans recognition events, there is no physical memorial honoring veterans-something the public can view year-round to pay tribute to local veterans and those killed in action."

Fallen Soldiers Honored at Elks Memorial Day Event, Bryan TX - 0 views

  •  
    The families of two fallen soldiers were the guests of honor Monday at a Memorial Day ceremony hosted by the Elks Lodge 859 of Bryan. Mark Kay Edwards received the Elks Medal of Valor for her son Billy, who died in Iraq in 2007. He spent two years at Texas A&M before joining the army. "For them to remember us and give us something special for Billy, it just makes it all the more special," she said. "He was a great kid for us. But knowing that everybody else remembers him and honors him, you know that just makes us feel good."

Next, 8-11 p.m. is the "rooty music" of Dragon Wagon, with a mix of bluegrass, rock and folk. Steinmetz said the Elks National Foundation issues grants to qualifying lodges to meet community needs. Steinmetz said the Elks have partnered with organizations such as Winterfest and Tiffin-Seneca Heritage Festival and are looking for grant opportunities for both events this year. The Elks' core mission is benevolence. The lodge has donated to the Seneca County Opportunity Cente

Elks guard an overlooked treasure. Elks National Memorial- Chicago - 0 views

  •  
    Davis, 25, has lived in Lincoln Park for years. He walks past the building - a massive gray dome encircled by a hefty colonnade - almost every day. But while the Elks National Memorial and Headquarters, located at the intersection of Diversey Avenue and Sheridan Road, is open to the public seven days a week during the summer, Davis shrugged it off. "I just don't think I really know that much about the Elks," he said. "They're up there with Rotary and those other groups. You know, stuff your grandpa was in. But I don't really even know what the hell they do."
