It was the biggest year to date in money raised and attendance for the 40th-annual Washington C.H. Elks Lodge #129 Tis’ The Season Charity Breakfast.
Over the past 40 years under the direction of the Elks Lodge chairman Rowland LeMaster, they have raised over $100,000 that is donated directly back to the community. This has been made possible by generous donations and support by the membership and the community.
Members are looking forward to this year’s 41st-annual Tis’ The Season Charity Breakfast on Dec. 22, so that they can continue to support and donate to the local community businesses and projects, while continuing to promote the motto of the fraternity: “Elks Care — Elks Share.”
