On Feb. 26, Fort Walton Elks Lodge #1795 held its annual Elks National Foundation (ENF) charity ball, which raised $3,670. Lodge members are grateful to the ENF for all it does and for the financial support it provides not only to the lodge’s community but to lodges around the country as well. The lodge holds this annual ball for members to enjoy and to share a great meal and fellowship. This was the largest turnout in a couple of decades. The popular silent auction with baskets and other items raised the bulk of the funds. Numerous donations were received and attendees felt the love Florida Elks have for the Elks National Foundation.
