It has been a whirlwind the last few months for the Eureka Elks Lodge Veterans Committee. On October 3-5, 2019 our Veterans Committee volunteered at the North Coast Stand Down. Kevin Christie and a team from the Veterans Committee cooked dinner for approximately 150 Veterans and the following day cooked
lunch for approximately 380 Veterans and family. We sure do love helping our Veterans. On November 8th, 2019 Eureka Elks Lodge Veterans Committee and the Eureka VA Clinic will be hosting its 4th Annual R.E.D. Friday Veterans lunch where we celebrate our Veterans of past, present. We also celebrate the Marine Corps birthday and Veterans Day. Ceremonies will start at 11:30 am and lunch will be served from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. Please RSVP by calling Kelly Stephens at (707) 269-7549. Please RSVP before November 5th, 2019. Each Veteran that is in attendance will receive a “Gratitude” box from Operation Gratitude. We also looking for Volunteers to help with this event. If you are interested, please contact Kevin Christie or myself. We look forward to seeing all our Veterans at this event.
