The Grand Forks ELKS (lodge #493) held an open house to celebrate the organization’s 100th anniversary on May 12 and held a Mother’s Day pancake breakfast the day after.
At the open house, some attendees won an ELKS mug: Irene Perepolkin, Camilla (surname not known), Sylvia Jmaiff, Betty Brussel and Cindy Milner.
There were two draws at the Mother’s Day breakfast. Stan McDonald won a wood bowl that was donated and crafted by Dave Milton.
Bonnie McMillan won a $25 Buy-Low Foods gift certificate.
The draw was by donation and proceeds went to ELKS #493’s local children’s fund, which received $166.
