outstanding fundraiser ... and FOR the lodge. Too many lodges ignore their own real needs until it is too late.

Dyngus day? I love polish sausage though

"Tiffin Elks Lodge 94 is celebrating 127 years in Tiffin. Exalted Ruler Joe Steinmetz, who joined the lodge seven years ago, is helping plan the event with other members. Why celebrate 127 years? "We want to commemorate 127 years of benevolence in Tiffin and celebrate another 100 years of active involvement in our community," Steinmetz said. Friday, dinner and live entertainment will take place for members and guests. Events Saturday are open to the public at 106 E. Perry St. Indoor and outdoor activities are to continue all day Saturday, with proceeds to benefit Disabled American Veterans. At 8 a.m., registration opens for a 5K run or 1K walk. An opening ceremony is at 9:30 a.m. and the race steps off at 10 a.m., following a route along Riverside Drive and downtown Tiffin. Registration for the 5K and 1K can be done up to the day of the race at $15 per person. The age groups are: 12 and under; 13-19; 20-34; 35-50; and over 50. Forms can be obtained at the Elks, Clover Club, Madison Street Tavern, Varsity Barber Shop, Champs Barber Shop, Pit Stop, Reino's and Ace Hardware. Checks should be made payable to Tiffin Elks Lodge 94. A grill and beverage bar opens at noon to serve all day. A mini-golf challenge and cornhole tournament are to begin at 1 p.m. in the parking lot. The cost is $20 per team for the cornhole tournament. To register, call (419) 447-2818 or email er@tiffinelks.com. Music also is planned. From 4-7 p.m., The House Band of Toledo is to play rock with a reggae and Cajun twist. 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

Looks like fun and started by an Elk and nurtured by the Lodge for 40 years!!

neat!

Looks like a fun fundraiser

I can see our lodge doing this. It would be fun

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

This is major cool!!

Missouri elks seem to be doing well

This would be pretty cool organization for every lodge to consider partnering with.

I'm sure the St Augustine lodge appreciates the windfall. $3k a concert is good money.

interesting concept

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

That sounds pretty cool.

"MILWAUKIE -- The Milwaukie Elks Lodge is holding an open house and membership drive Saturday featuring family entertainment. "

"PITTSBURG - Despite opposition from some residents and city officials, Elks members here may soon be able to stay at their watering hole a bit later on weekends. This week, the Planning Commission approved a resolution extending hours of operation for Elks Lodge No. 1474 at 200 Marina Blvd. until midnight Fridays and Saturdays. Closing time is currently 10:30 p.m."

"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."
