To Our Absent Members !!!
Carlsbad lodge served area Veterans and their spouses a free breakfast on Veteran’s Day November 11th, 2021.
Carlsbad lodge will be providing approximately 100 residents at the local nursing home with gifts for Christmas. Lakeview Christian Home provided our lodge with wish lists from each of their residents. Three members had their company sponsor 20 residents each and the rest went on our tree for members to pick from. We have already taken some of the presents back and will take them all before their Christmas party on the 23. We are very proud to help brighten the holidays for our senior citizens

All scholarships are in the form of certificates of award conditional upon the full-time enrollment of the winner in an accredited U.S. college or university.
The Chicago office of the Elks National Foundation will announce the 500 national winners in late April, 2022.

These scholarships are not to be confused with the 500 Elks National Foundation Most Valuable Student Scholarships.)

These 20 Finalists will be vying for two first-place awards of $50,000; two second-place awards of $40,000; and two third-place awards of $30,000.
