Sometimes you just have to chuckle about some of the news that comes up about the Elks

interesting concept

interesting fundraiser. Plus they have a chair of major events.

Time to call Ghost Busters LOL Now in all seriousness, I have been volunteering work time on a Boys detention center that was built in 1897 (Preston Castle, as it is known). Seeing ??? Like this has become common for myself. Is there a truth to the visions? Science doesn't have the answer as yet. Thanks for posting this Mike.

Lincoln city, OR May 11

don't most kids have ipads now and words can be looked up online?

Most kids in SOME AREAS have access to computers or tablets, yes -- but not all. I've had members of several Lodges tell me that the Dictionary program is a vitally important one for many students. What we are giving them is a small, inexpensive paperback dictionary. But when we tell them that it's THEIR book -- and suggest that they write their name inside the front cover -- we often have children burst into tears because they've never owned a book of their own before. This isn't a program to look down our noses at. It's a program that help students with their studies, boosts their self-esteem, and wins life-long friends for the Elks.
