Thank you to the community of El Paso that joined us at our annual trunk or treat – mini haunted house!

Elroy, played by Eric, made a special appearance singing if you happy and you know it don’t do drugs.

A big shout-out to everyone you know who you are that made it happen.

Elks Lodge 461

What a wonderful morning with two fellow Elks purchasing supplies for UNM, Pres and Ronald McDonald House.

Nothing like doing good and filling your hearts full of laughter while working together for the common good of children.

Thank you to the Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant!

On July 23rd we had a children’s carnival with cotton candy, snow cones, popcorn, games and prizes. We also had the NM Avengers there to help us hand out 207 backpacks. We had 313 children and 182 adults come through that day to join in on the fun! We made a difference in our community that day and it felt great!

Albuquerque Elks Lodge 461 – Youth Camp at the Elks Refuge

July 5, 2022 / Richard Shepardson

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!
