Flag Day – June 14, 2020

Since 1911, the BPOE have been honoring the history of this country and the birth of the American flag via a tribute to the flag of the United States of America on Flag Day.  Please join us on Flag Day, Sunday, June 14, 2020, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM as our lodge officers perform the time honored Flag Day ceremony.  The ceremony is both patriotic and historical.  We will meet on the south lawn at the lodge.  See the flyer below or CLICK HERE.
After the Flag Day ceremony, we will introduce and honor our local 2020 scholarship recipients.
The attire is casual.  If you have a blue Nevada Elks vest, please wear it.  You may want to bring a lawn chair.  Bottled water will be provided on site by the Elks Lodge.
Hope to see you there.
