Elks Supports Beautification of Gallipolis

Gallipolis Elks 107 donated $1000 from the 2026 Beacon Grant to Gallipolis in Bloom, GIB, to support the beautification of the city of Gallipolis with flowers and plants for the summer and fall.

The money was used to purchase plants, flowers and flower containers to be placed throughout the community and the downtown area. The Elks Lodge additionally donated $8500 from the Charitable Bingo proceeds to help purchase a replacement truck to be used for watering the flowers during the season.
