good move

"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.

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!

This could be a win/win for two non-profits.

Looks like fun and raised money too

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.

I have to agree that gambling is not the best way to raise funds. However, our own lodge offers bingo and that is certainly gambling though legal.

good job and excellent public relations. However, the elks are a fraternal organization. Not a civic one. Community service work grows out of the bonds forged by the fireside of the Elks home. Not the other way around. Subtle but huge distinction

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

Nice public relations piece. They got the date wrong for the lodge charter but other then that it might help describe the lodge's activities and purposes to the general public in a positive way.

Missouri elks seem to be doing well

Wow!! Now that's COLD!!!

In case you were considering renting your lodge to a cannabis group. lol ... http://blogs.redding.com/mbeauchamp/archives/2014/01/do-not-medicate.html

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

While it shouldn't be a permanent solution, sharing space with other non-profits is a viable short term option.
