good news that something is being preserved from McCook. The bad news is that it lost it's charter. This was one hell of a lodge in it's day. The fact is that the GL is mostly responsible for the demise of this lodge and the dramatic loss of membership. nebraska is down 77% from 1985. and that was as of 2014. Down to 7,000 from 32,000. HUGE drop that can only be attributed to leadership (or lack of).

Their stories are legion. The stress behind their stories, stress that combat veterans often hold tight inside, can be painful and destructive. There was the Marine in Afghanistan who told me he has post-traumatic stress disorder so bad he can't stand to be safe at home, where he sometimes drops to the floor, thinking a loud noise is an incoming mortar. He keeps volunteering to return to combat, where his hair-trigger reflexes make sense. Where he's comfortable. For veterans, telling their stories can be helpful. Having someone listen? Priceless.

here's a rental that apparently went bad.

interesting to see how this fares for them. This lodge has over 300 members so losing control of their club room could be a bad .. or good thing.

we certainly don't postpone activities now due to the sabbath. Now, many seem to harbor disdain for anything Christian. Too bad.

6 months?

For the first time in nearly 12 years, a rodeo will be at the center of Helldorado Days. And it will be right in the middle of downtown Las Vegas.

Great job guys! Hope you make your $100k goal!

Second place is not bad for this elks lodge. I'm sure it makes their members proud as well.

I don't know if this is good or bad. Downsizing is not good and 35 year old buildings do have some issues. Still..

I guess they are a member of the Chamber.. not a bad idea

suspended again. 1100 members?

Just as I predicted, these boys got the gift of a lifetime. .. our 100 yr old crown jewel 'the elks Home' for a song. Borrowed the money to pay the 4.5 million selling price (appraised value $15mm) and two years later get advanced $10mm more!!. I guarantee they won't be putting all that money in the Home but mostly in their back pockets. This article points out some crucial misinformation from GL. "We could never break even as the most residents we could have is 120", well these former consultants to the Elks Home knew better. They are at 185!!. Break even was well below that!! Tragic, sad and totally unnecessary.

What did GL expect by taking away this old lodge's building? Sometimes I wonder why I belong to an organization that exhibits such ineptitude!!

a lodge with 600 members? WTH?

odd

"Lima Elks Lodge"

1100 members?

That's not very nice..stealing your lodge St Pat's sign!!
