The lodge adopted 10 families with 31 children for Christmas 2024. Kathy was the chair for this event and sends her "thank you" to the volunteers:
"Hello, fellow Elks! I don't know why I am so amazed with the outpouring of volunteers for our Christmas families. All who volunteered their time are greatly appreciated. We were able to provide toys, clothes and food for 31 kids and 10 families. This is why I became an Elk. Again, thank you to all who volunteered! We would not have been as successful without you! Elks Care, Elks Share."
It’s not too late to sign up for the Benton County Elks Lodge #2783 Crawl. It is scheduled for January 25, 2025. The crawl will leave our parking lot at 9:00 AM in a 56-passenger deluxe coach driven by a Village Travel driver. We will first go to the Springfield lodge, then the Bolivar lodge and the final stop will be the Stockton lodge. We will return to our lodge by 9:00 PM. This crawl is for Elks members, their spouses or significant others. The expected cost will be $40 per person. The crawl will be a great time with fellow Elks and a chance to meet members of other lodges. Contact John Way at (913) 687-0430 for information.
