Phoenix Elks Lodge #335 proudly hosted a special Mother’s Day Ritual on Mother’s Day that was open to the public, bringing together members, families, and guests for a heartfelt afternoon of remembrance and appreciation.

During the ceremony, flowers were presented to mothers in attendance while also honoring the memories of mothers who are no longer with us. The event welcomed 24 attendees, including 10 mothers.

“This ceremony reminds us to cherish and honor the mothers who guide, support, and inspire us every day,” said Exalted Ruler Clint Tompkins.
