All veterans (and their assistant companions etc.) are welcome to attend this free meal and enjoy the company of other people who have proudly served our country! Volunteers from the Middleboro Elks #1274 has a longstanding tradition of making and serving a free, delicious meal to local veterans, the third Thursday of each month at noon. Many veterans from the greater Middleboro area enjoy attending the meal each month. Several veterans who live at the VA in Brockton MA, also receive bus transportation to attend. This month, a man brought his brother who recently moved into a nearby town and is a veteran suffering from PTSD and other medical issues, to attend the meal. They told Elks volunteers that they really enjoyed meeting other local veterans who understand what he is going through and that they will be back next month! This month’s meal was a pork roast dinner, complete with scalloped potatoes, corn, gravy, applesauce and rolls. The meal was followed by a homemade dessert, made by members of the Elks Emblem Club. Several members of the Emblem Club, along with other volunteers, enjoy coming each month; to help serve the meal, drinks, and socialize with the veterans who attend. The Middleboro Elks Veterans Chairman, Dick Tinkham, would like to thank all of the faithful volunteers that come each month to help make the meal such an enjoyable tradition to recognize the men and women who have proudly served our country!

To the Membership, I hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July! I heard the weather was great! Me and my wife, Janine were in HOTLANTA for the Grand Lodge Convention and boy was it Hot! This was my first Grand Lodge Convention and it was even more than I expected! We had the pleasure of staying at the Marriott Marquis in Downtown Atlanta along with 26 other states from around the country. The motto "ELKS CARE ELKS SHARE" was displayed at every hospitality room we went in and we went in quite a few! The people were fantastic! From the opening ceremony to the closing was impressive to say the least! It was three days of sessions and seminars. We had the opportunity to talk with other Elks from across our nation and exchange ideas and stories from our respective Lodges. The seminars we attended were full of useful information that we will be passing along at the next couple of meetings. I encourage all of you to attend a meeting and learn more about Elkdom and what it has to offer! .

Lodge Events
Because they have served so many people throughout Southeastern MA, the St. Vincent DePaul Sacred Heart Food Pantry of Middleboro, MA received the honor of being invited to attend the International Seafood Festival in Boston. Food Pantry Director, David Cunningham, reached out to Leading Knight Laura O’Connor, and asked if the Elks could help volunteer. On Tuesday, March 15, 2022, Middleboro Elks #1274 Esteemed Leading Knight, Laura O’Connor, Evan Adelman, volunteer, and Harry Chandler, Elks’ member went into Boston to help. Together with the other food pantry volunteers shown in the picture, they enjoyed gathering almost 2300 pounds of seafood to be distributed to local people in need. Elks Care - Elks Share!
We accomplish charitable objectives and fund projects that improve the quality of life in our local Elks communities, and in turn the Elks community as a whole. We are the premier charitable and patriotic organization in the United States. With nearly, 800,000 Members working towards this greater goal, no wonder why the Elks are referred to as the Best People On Earth. The Order spends more than $80,000,000 every year for benevolent, educational and patriotic community-minded programs in such fields as benefitting special needs children, sponsoring Elks National Foundation scholarships, scouting, athletic teams, veterans' works, a national "Hoop Shoot" free-throw contest involving more than 3 million children, physical and occupational therapy programs and patriotic programs. The youth of our country have always been important to the Order. It is for this reason the Elks Drug Awareness Education Program was launched to warn primary grade students and their parents of the dangers in drug use. Additionally, every lodge observes June 14th as Flag Day, a tradition which the Elks began in 1907 and was later adopted by the Congress as an official observance. We pledge never to forget our Veterans. Our programs help special needs children, and our nation’s youth with scholarships and drug prevention programs. We offer countless opportunities for social activities and new friendships. Why not Join us in service to your community!
