This past weekend, our Frankfort Lodge held its annual Angel Tree Christmas Party. Needy kids from around the community were treated to a meal of pizza and treats. After everyone had eaten, Santa Claus came to visit, and brought along Mrs. Claus and Rudolph as well!

Each child received a stocking full of treats, and was able to open a gift during the party. They each took home a stack of additional gifts as well.

As you can see above, Santa was a big hit with the kids. Many thanks to all of the members who shopped for gifts, wrapped gifts, and helped plan and put on the party. We’d also like to extend a special thanks to everyone who purchased an Angel Tree ornament to help fund the party.

You can check out all the pictures from the party in the gallery below.

Our Frankfort Elks Lodge has been growing of late. In fact, we led all Kentucky lodges in membership growth for the 2017-18 year. We’re looking to keep the momentum going this year, and this week, we made a big step in that direction by initiating 22 new members into the lodge.

This is one of the largest initiations we’ve held at our lodge in many years, and we’re excited to welcome all of our new Elk brothers and sisters. Our new members are pictured above. If you see them around the lodge, make sure you welcome them!

Just as we do every year, our Frankfort Lodge took time to deliver some holiday cheer to shut-in seniors in our community. This year, eight seniors received not only two meals for Thanksgiving, but also a $50 Wal-Mart gift card to help these folks purchase necessities.

The Senior Activity Center was closed Thanksgiving Day and the day after, thus the need to deliver two meals to insure these seniors have enough food for the long weekend. The Elks ask that our community remember all of our seniors during the upcoming holidays.

Pictured above is Elk member Leigh Skaggs with Hallie Furman. Also present but not pictured was Elk member Sandy Moore.

Our annual Christmas Party for Angel Tree kids is coming up on Saturday, December 15. Shoppers are already procuring gifts, and if you’re one of them, you need to have your gifts wrapped and at the lodge no later than 11 AM December 15. The party will be held from 12:30 – 2 PM that day.

We would greatly appreciate any donations for this event. The money will be used to purchase pizzas for the children and their families. Any donations can be given to Terry LaFontaine.

We also need volunteers to bake / bring desserts for the party. These should also arrive at the lodge by 11 AM.

If you’d like to help decorate the lodge for the party, please join us at 5:30 PM on Saturday, December 8 upstairs.
