Lodge #1923 Presents $2,000 to Operation Orphan Wildlife

Cuyahoga Falls Akron Barberton Lodge #1923 recently hosted a special evening dedicated to local wildlife conservation on Friday, November 15th. The Lodge was honored to welcome Fran Kitchen, who has run Operation Orphan Wildlife (OOW) for 62 years. Fran and her team brought several rescued animals and provided an insightful presentation on their efforts to rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned wildlife. Our members showed tremendous support by bringing in donations and participating in a raffle basket fundraiser. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of a $2,000 check to Fran Kitchen and OOW. This generous gift was made possible through the Elks National Foundation (ENF) Gratitude Grant. Thank you to all members and guests for making this event a success and helping Lodge #1923 support Operation Orphan Wildlife's crucial mission!
