Community Support From The Elks Lodge #35

Brian Shactman discusses Matt's annual fundraiser for autism at the Elks Club, which has raised thousands. Michelle and Keith Stocking, members of the Elks, explain its fraternal and charitable nature, including scholarships, veteran support, and community projects like a food drive for the Meriden soup kitchen. The Elks Club, established in 1914, is the 35th in the U.S. and has over 2,000 lodges. They highlight upcoming events, such as a Hoop Shoot contest for children aged 8-13, and emphasize the community's acceptance and support. Michelle recently received a lifetime honorary membership for her contributions.
