So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.
The Littleton Colorado Elks Lodge #1650 proved this when they honored veterans and guests with an amazing meal and ritual presentation provided by Exalted Ruler, Amy Jo Berg; Esteemed Leading Knight, Jimmy Stanley; and the Colorado National Guard.
More than 150 people enjoyed the meal of stuffed pork chops, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls and dessert. The Littleton Elks Veterans Committee paid for all veterans and one guest for this dinner.
In addition, the committee held a raffle for baskets made by Elks members and sold Littleton Elks Lodge 1650 hats to help pay for the dinner and future donations.
“Making a meal this large for so many people is a challenge, but we would do anything for our veterans,” said Angie Jackson, Veterans Committee. “And we could NOT have done it without the help of our Ladies of the Elks, Veterans Committee members and other volunteers who spent many hours preparing for this meal that means so much to our veterans.”
