Gallipolis Elks Lodge #107 Welcomes New Members And Makes History

Gallipolis Elks Lodge #107 recently welcomed nine new members to The Order, including Patti Wallen and Tammi Sommer who represent the first women to join the Gallipolis Elks Lodge. With this initiation class, all lodges in Ohio have now welcomed women into the order as full Elk members, marking a new era for the Ohio Elks Association and paving the way for continued diversity and expansion of membership across the Buckeye state.

Congratulations to all new members and welcome to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks!

Front Row: Bill Barker, Patti Wallen, Tammi Sommer, and Andy Ruby. Second Row: Cory Short, Lee Reynolds, Matt Henry, Jeff Lemley and Jared Saum.
