Van Wert Elks #1197 Lights Up Local Park

Van Wert Elks Lodge #1197 recently donated $750 to the Village of Wren.     The monies were used by the village to put up new LED lights in their park.   This will provide better lighting within the park at night for those who use it.

The monies are distributed by the Ohio Elks Association in the form of a Community Service Grant.   The Ohio Elks Association receives monies each year from the Elks National Foundation, a perpetual trust fund established in 1928 by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.   Contributions to the Foundation are made each year by close to one million Elks and their families and friends from more than 2,000 Elks Lodges across the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Philippines.

To date, thru the Community Service Grants, Van Wert Elks Lodge 1197 has distributed over $34,893.76 back into Van Wert County to assist the city, county and villages.

Van Wert Elks Lodge is proud to be able to assist the Village of Wren with this important project.
