Flag Day, Friday, June 14, 2019, 6 to 7 PM

Lamoille Grove, Elko County, Nevada

Presented by: Great Basin Elks Lodge #1472

• Open and free to the general public.
• Enjoy a beautiful evening in Lamoille Grove.
• Come learn about the history of the American Flag.
• See historical flag replicas.
• Great family event – appropriate for all ages.

Learn how the national, historic, fraternal organization, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE), annually honors the U.S. Flag and all it represents in a moving and traditional ceremony.

The Elko Lions Club is hosting a clean-up weekend at Camp Lamoille to begin a multi-year restoration process due to last summer’s Range 2 Fire. Volunteers with gloves, tools, and able bodies are needed for either day or both days. Water and lunch will be provided. Saturday evening will include a BBQ dinner for all workers provided by the Lions Club. 

Work will include, picking up trash, cleaning up burned brush and materials, dismantling sheds, cutting wood, shoveling dirt and debris, etc. It may be dirty work, but it will be rewarding work to assist with the overall rebuild. Tools needed include work gloves, boots, sunscreen, chainsaws, brush trimmers (loppers), rakes, shovels, magnets on sticks or wheels, etc. 

We need a head count before the event so the Lions Club can coordinate logistics and food. If you would like to assist with this project, please contact Ben Reed, Walt O’Brien, or email [email protected]. 

Our lodge invites all Elks members and guests to our Annual Mother’s Day Ceremony and Brunch on Sunday, May 12 at the Masonic Lodge in Elko.  This is a wonderful time to remember our Mothers and honor our ladies with a beautiful ceremony and a brunch in their honor. 

The ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. with brunch to follow.  Brunch will consist of sandwiches, strudel bites, deviled eggs, fruit tray, and some breakfast breads.  If you would like to contribute your own special dish, please feel free to bring it to share.

Hope you will bring your special ladies, moms and memories of moms, to this special Mother’s Day event.
