Looks like a fun fundraiser

nifty idea for a fundraiser

What a cool and delightful fundraiser!! Wasn't even held at the lodge!!

Looks like fun and raised money too

good job though sorry for the fire that destroyed his house.

"The Hemet Elks' Ole Opry country-western variety show was a sell-out, great news for the 20 local high school students who will receive scholarships as a result of Saturday's fundraiser. Organized by Iris Johnson, the three-hour event snowballed into a bigger and better show than she had originally envisioned."

When it comes to community events, it's hard to imagine Elks Lodge No. 2127 or Emblem Club No. 350 not being involved. Activities for scholarship dollars, literacy in the schools, helping students finance out-of-state travel, wounded veterans, fundraisers for community members whose homes have been destroyed or are facing serious medical challenges or any of a number of issues Elks and the Emblem Club are there. Saturday, they're at it again with the annual July Fourth scholarship barbecue. Admission is $15 at the door or free with a $100 raffle ticket. In addition to food and games for the kids, a raffle drawing begins at 1 p.m. with more than $16,000 in cash prizes.

Elks Club to open restaurant By Samantha Swindler / Managing Editor The Tri-County Elks Lodge is taking on a unique fundraising venture - they're planning to open a restaurant on Corbin's Main Street. K.R. Deaton, a member of the lodge's board of trustees, said the Elks are interested in opening a restaurant in the club's remodeled building at 207 North Main Street.

The Elks are a fraternal organization founded in 1868, although the organization had previously existed under the name of Jolly Corks. The first lodge was formed in New York City. The local lodge is focused on Maplewood and Irvington as well as South Orange and hosts a pancake breakfast every second Sunday of the month. Other fundraising events include a golf outing in July and a pig roast in September.

This lodge apparently rents it's facilities to businesses who use it for commercial purposes. We have a few in our lodge who think that you can't do that. I aim to show that you can

guess they aren't worried about serving to th epublic

Brilliant!! and clever

hmmm.. sure does sound good! Open to the public too!

Interesting concept
