Barre Elks Lodge in conjunction with Montpelier Elks Lodge recently held a benefit Calcutta to assist Wil Hallstrom in completing his Eagle Scout project and obtaining his Eagle rank before his 18th birthday. Wil has been working diligently to replace the current WWII memorial in Northfield Falls with a 4 x 10 foot granite monument.
The Calcutta raised $2,825. This money will be used to purchase the granite slab from Rock of Ages and have all names etched by B & B Memorials.
Congratulations to Wil for taking on such an important community project and allowing both Barre and Montpelier Elks Lodges to play a small part in the project.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kristin Calcagni
