“Lodge #2500, in Rio Rancho NM, recently completed a revitalization project of their “Kneeling Soldier Memorial”. The project was done in stages over the course of a few months by adding fresh paint, new colors and artificial grass. The project was fittingly completed on Memorial Day 2022.”

Elks Lodge 461 gave $4,000 to Safe Space New Mexico, a 501 (3c) to help house people who were misplaced during the terrible fires in New Mexico.

Meet Vanessa Garcia, President of Safe Space NM who has housed 157 families since the fires began.

Elks Lodge 461 hosted a Youth Camp for the past week up at the Elks Refuge!  The Youth Leaders from their church taught the kids archery, meteorology, leather craft, survival, life skills and much more.

The Elks gave a Drug Awareness Presentation in the evening for the Youth and Leaders of the Camp.

The Leaders wanted the kids to do something for the Elks for allowing them to camp for free.   The kids painted the bathrooms for the Refuge a bright new green!

Thank you to a great wonderful group of children and leaders!
