Due to Beshear’s executive order of “bar and restaurant” closure and following the Kentucky State Elks Association reccommendations, on March 16, 2020 our lodge facility closed indefinitely. Even though the doors closed, another opportunity to “GIVE” opened! Our member, Veteran, and Bar Manager, Carla Hawkins along with a team of volunteers quickly responded by giving a generous donation of much needed food from our pantry to the Access Soup Kitchen. She also donated our extra vinyl gloves, hand sanitizer, bleach and antibacterial wipes to the Boon National Guard to distribute to local first responders. Thank you Carla for taking the initiative to get the food and supplies donated and distributed to organizations that serve our community. Another fine example of how “Elks Care, Elks Share”
