Lodge 1747 held it’s first Flag retirement ceremony. The Veterans committee led by Cara Richter held the ceremony on June 10th. Thank you to Tommy Bolack an Elk Trustee for allowing this event to be held on his ranch.  Also a huge shout out to the Veterans Committee for putting this together. John Tucker did a great job as MC. The ceremony was open to the public and had a good turn out.
