Everyone,

Please be aware that there is a new scam out there requesting Gift Card or online donations for veterans. This scam is

supposedly from the North Carolina State Elks Association but signed by GER Douglas Schiefer. This is definitely a scam.

ARMY OF HOPE BACK TO SCHOOL POOL PARTY- This is an annual event we host for kids of National Guard and we used to buy them bicycles, but lately we get them gift cards. The event is coming up soon, August 10th, but we need to get the cards in by a week before so Becky can allocate what we have to the families. More information below:

We are in desperate need of gift cards for our Army of Hope pool party on August 10th. We have collected around $500.00 in

gift cards and our goal is $7,000.00. If we can reach this goal, each child would receive $100 to help pay for school supplies

and clothes. You can drop them off at the Lodge and give them to the bartender or call me personally and I can arrange a

way to pick them up. If you have any questions, please let me know.

ARMY OF HOPE BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT-Hello my fellow Elks!

The annual Army of Hope pool party is scheduled for August 10th, and once again, I need your help!

In the past, our lodge has been able to raise $100 for each child who attends. This money helps their parents buy clothes and anything else they may need to get their school year started off on the right foot.

We're expecting about 70 kids, and families from our local National Guard, and will need all the help we can get to make this the best year yet!

We are in need of Walmart and Target gift cards, though cash is welcome also. Gift card donations can be given to the bartender or directly to me.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and an early thank you to everyone for making this a memorable day for the kids!

Becky Hiller

PLEASE MAKE SURE IT IS A GIFT CARD, NOT A REFILLABLE BANK CARD LIKE GREEN DOT OR CHIME!
