On November 11, 2022 the Lewis County Elks Lodge #2883 hosted local Veterans for a chili supper.

In attendance were 15 Veterans and 51 members and guests. Proceeding the meal, the Elks presented a Veterans Ceremony to recognize each branch of our military.

Two Veterans, James Peery and Zach McGee each won a beautiful patriotic quilt. These beautiful quilts were made and donated by Gloria Willis Jones of Gloria's Emporium. Two additional Veterans, Tom Kilpatrick and Tony McGee won Walmart gift cards.

The Elks are grateful to our veterans for our freedom and to our community for supporting our efforts. For As long as there are Veterans the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.
