Cedar Rapids Lodge #251 Recognized for their Scholarship Efforts
All,

We have verified from the Gazette’s editor that they are happy to waive their copyright laws so that this article may be published in both our State and National Elks publications and social media venues. I feel the article is very well written and reflects the importance of our extensive scholarship opportunities. You will find the attachments from Gazette Editor, Diana Pesek, containing an electronic version of the article at the end of this document.

AboutIowa Elks
Our Mission
to inculcate the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism; to cultivate good fellowship; to perpetuate itself as a fraternal organization, and to provide for its government, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America will serve the people and communities through benevolent programs, demonstrating that Elks Care and Elks Share.
Our Goal
Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up.
Elks invest in their communities through programs that help children, Veterans and community needs.
