Some ask, “How much is enough?â€Â  Enough is when the Elks have done all it can to support, honor and help our Veterans, including the elimination of homelessness; enough is by providing for America’s future through various scholarship programs, Hoop Shoots, Youth programs and Drug Awareness programs; and enough is when the communities served by our Lodges thrive, making Elkdom Shine for all to see.
