The Elks Lodge #493 pancake breakfast was held at the Grand Forks Fall Fair at Dick Bartlett park near the Curling Club, on Aug. 27 and 28.
Donations were accepted for the Elks and Royal Purple Children's Fund with those entered being eligible for a draw of one of three gift certificates. It was another successful fundraiser and awareness event with approximately 200 plus meals being served for the two days.
Many thanks to the local businesses who donated gift certificates, Elks members, volunteers, fall fair organizers, and those who supported this worthwhile cause by purchasing a very affordable and filling meal! Local children and beyond are helped with receiving hearing devices or other assistance as required, other individuals or groups requests are considered if funds are available and it fulfills helping youth or young adults.
2010 has been a busy year with many pancake breakfasts, Mother's Day, Grand Forks ATV Club, Canada Day & Grand Forks Fall Fair. The Elks has donated soccer balls and baseball uniforms to local teams, plus a financial donation to Mischa Popoff, MS patient, for surgery.
The Elks meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm with a break for July & August. Our first meeting for the 2010 - 2011 season will happen on Sept. 7th with the installation of officers. If you'd like to attend a meeting as a guest or want more information on how to join as a member contact Cliff PH:250-442-2895 or Shawna PH:250-442-4276.
