While traveling through Phoenix, Larry Hudson of Yuma Elks Lodge #476 made a special appearance at Phoenix Elks Lodge #335 after noticing that members were celebrating birthdays.

Without hesitation, Larry graciously stepped in and treated the Lodge to a beautiful bugle rendition of Happy Birthday. The moment was unexpected, heartfelt, and a perfect example of what it means to be an Elk — showing brotherly love, respect, and unity across Lodges.

Thank you, Larry, for sharing your talent and your heart, and for reminding us that Elkdom is alive and well wherever we travel.
