Elks Sharing Tree…

Van Wert Lodge 1197, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, has again this year adopted children from the Angel Tree Project to help make their Christmas a little brighter. Tags are placed on the lodge Christmas Sharing Tree, which contains items needed for the kids. Members of the lodge take the tags from the tree, buy and wrap the items, and bring them back to the lodge. The members of the Christmas Sharing Tree Committee then deliver the packages to their location before Christmas. This has been a project of the local Elks lodge for several years and members look forward to the Sharing Tree being put up. By participating in this project, Van Wert Elks are able to show the community that “Elks Care — Elks Share”. Shown are the wrapped presents waiting to be delivered by the Elks Sharing Tree committee. Elks photo
