BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors meets every
2nd and 4th Tuesday at 10am.
Any member may attend.
The minutes are always posted
on the Officers' Room door.
The Florence Elks #1858 donated part of their Beacon Grant of $3000 to Backpack for Kids, to help provide weekend food supplies to
at-risk, insecure students during the school year. This enables those
students, chosen by the schools in Florence to have nutritional meals on weekends which expands their attention span to concentrate on their studies during the week. When families have to choose between eating and paying their bills, the social matrix plummets, so Backpack for Kids steps in to help.
Elk volunteers help to pack up the meals for the kids, so they have them for the weekend.
