      <image:title>DAP - The Elks &amp; DEA</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Elks have an amazing relationship with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The Elks are the largest volunteer organization in the US dedicated to battling the epidemic of illicit drig use and the DEA is a great partner for resources for lodges to leverage in their communities. One easy way for your lodge to partner with the DEA is to register your lodge as a collection site for the twice-annual National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.</image:caption>
