Elyria Elks #465 Helps Local At Risk Children Sleep At Night

Roger Dorsey, from the Good Knights organization, accepted $2,000 from an Elk's National Foundation (ENF) Gratitude Grant, along with $530 and a total of 52 bed sheets, pillows, blankets and comforters raised by AOL (Advancement of the Lodge) members from their Christmas in July event.  

The Good Knights provide beds and supplies to children in Lorain County who do not have beds of their own.  It is estimated that over 6,000 children in Lorain County go to sleep each night in something other than their own bed. (A parent's bed, a sibling's bed, a couch, etc)

E.R. Mike Walker (white shirt) and behind him members Dean Robinson and Bill Foglyano along with AOL members who donated a lot of time to make the event a huge success.
