In September, to our absent member Tara Mae Rose, her husband Joel and her mother Susan Fox made a donation to the Christian County Elks Veterans Fund and Elks National Foundation. The $5,500 was proceeds from the Tara Mae Memorial Golf Tournament and Silent Auction. Joel and Susan designated that $5,000 go towards the Veterans Fund and $500 to ENF. The Veterans donation will support the upcoming holiday veterans events like the Thanksgiving Dinner for Veterans, December Food Drive for Veterans and Veterans Cemetery Wreaths. The ENF donation could put our Lodge in First Place for the State of Missouri.
