Springfield Elks Lodge 1560 didn’t let Covid-19 get the best of them. Annually the Lodge presents all third graders at Union St. School with an Elks dictionary. This year was no different as they presented (79) students with their Elks books outside in front of the school..

Members of Barre Lodge visited The Veterans’ Place in Northfield, Vermont, last Saturday to deliver items for transitioning Veterans. Over $2000 worth of pots and pans, microwaves, cookie sheets, glasses, bowls, crockpots and Pyrex containers were all purchased with funds from the Elks National Foundation Beacon grant.
