Interesting. There are all kinds of regulations on the use of the term "Elks" for organizations outside of a lodge or state association. Since this has been going on presumably for decades, maybe it's a coalition of lodges in the New Orleans area?
This lodge was given the bowling equipment by a private operator who went out of business. It would be cool if they could find a way to make it work in their lodge. I wish our lodge had room for a bowling center. That's lots of fun.
That's quite an accomplishment this Lodge has been accomplishing for 55 years with this gridiron committee. Great program too that acknowledges sports celebrities. A tip of the Antlers!
"Newport Elks Tournament". Why don't you read of this in the Elks Magazine? A baseball tournament for high schools that has been going on for 30+ years! Over 50 high schools in S CA. Wow! That's impressive.
