Salem Elks #305 Work to Protect Elks Rest at Local Cemetary

Salem Elks Lodge #305 has an "Elks Rest" in the Grandview Cemetery. Standing in front of the Elk Statue are pictured Drew Green- Trustee presenting a check to Mike Farino - Superintendent of Grandview Cemetery and Jack Gilbert - Inner Guard. If you'll notice the tree on the right in the background. It is slowly rotting away. There are several large branches that are over hanging the top of the Elk. Any of them could fall at any given time and damage the statue. Through the Salem Community Foundation, we were able to obtain a $2,500 donation from our charity donations to have the tree removed.
