Our Antlers Help Make Our Community Park Cleaner
Submitted by Eileen Austin, Antlers Chairman
On the afternoon of February 28, our Antlers members spent time giving back to the community by helping clean up Venturoso Park, located across the street from the Lodge. Working together, they collected several bags of trash and helped make the park a cleaner and more enjoyable place for families and neighbors to relax and play.
The Antlers is the Elks’ youth organization, providing young people ages 12 to 20 with opportunities to participate in community service, develop leadership skills, and learn the values of patriotism, good citizenship, and helping those in need. Through projects like this park cleanup, our Antlers demonstrate the spirit of service that the Elks proudly promote.
The day was especially pleasant, with warm February weather making the work even more enjoyable. After their efforts, the group celebrated a job well done with cold drinks and snacks at Taco Bell.
We are proud of our Antlers for their continued dedication to serving our community and representing the principles of Elkdom.
