I've been an Elk for around 20 years. My wife and I enjoy the annual PER banquet and an occasional Friday evening fish fry. Don't do much drinking there but the meals are always a good time. The organization does good things for the community, youth, and vets. My lodge is also suffering from losing aging members. Covid took a toll on gatherings for quite some time.
BTW, I miss the time we spent painting that poor elderly person's house for free!
