Bennington Lodge recently presented two awards to long time members.
John H. Redding received the Elks Distinguished Citizenship award for devoting over 20 years of volunteering every Monday at Bingo.  The primary beneficiary of funds raised at Bingo is Silver Towers Camp.
Bennington Lodge also presented an Elks National Foundation Honorary Founder Certificate to Gary Lewis.  This award is presented to members who have donated $1000 to further ENF’s missions and ideals.  Gary and his wife, Katherine, are both dedicated members of Bennington Lodge #567 and are very active with Veterans Service Programs.  The Lewis family is truly an Elks family; his father, son and daughter in-law are also members of the Lodge.
