“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!

Elks Lodge 461 by invitation from Bernalillo County Commissioner Adriann Barboa attended a concert at the Veterans Memorial Amphitheater called Flamenco in the Neighborhood. The performances were fantastic, one of the performing groups was from UNM.
Today the Lodge celebrated Flag Day! It is always good to gather and be reminded the history of the flag and why we salute it!
Lodge 461 and Rio Rancho Lodge 2500 put on a barbecue for the Spinal Cord Unit at the Raymond G. Murphy Medical Center (VA Hospital) this afternoon.
Cooking was Chuck Zobac from Santa Fe, a board member of Honor Flight Northern New Mexico. Also present was a representative from Fisher House talking with the Veterans.
Represented was also Al Samura, District Veterans Commission Chair and Elks Lodge 461 Wendy Villasenor, Veterans Committee, who is presently serving in the Army.
The Veterans were all outside enjoying a picnic in the shade!
This is the first time anyone has been allowed back into the Hospital since the Covid and all were excited and could not thank the Elks enough!
Thank you ENF – today Brother Charles received $2500. to help the center succeed. What a wonderful hour visiting with him and touring the facility and meeting all the men helping to feed the homeless while healing their own selves!
Brother Charles said the Elks have been good to the Brothers of the Good Shepherd and thanks the Elks for our continued support!
Thank you to ENF for making this Workshop Possible for our Veterans!
What a moving experience observing and listening to Bill Sparks work his magic during his creative healing with words writing workshop for Veterans.
Bill Sparks was very inspirational as he talked with the Veterans and he himself being a Veteran. Best example of a veteran helping other veterans to deal with their own needs by the power of their own written words.
