Pompano Beach Elks Lodge #1898 participated in the ninth annual Unity in the Community event Jan. 25. It is a day for family fun promoted and coordinated by the City of Pompano Beach. The lodge sponsored a booth and passed out information about the Elks drug awareness program, Elks scholarships and Elks membership. Coincidentally, a performing clown at the event noticed the Elks booth and told them that her daughter had been treated at the Florida Elks’ Lower East Coast Clinic approximately 20 years ago and she let them know how much she appreciated what the Elks had done for her family. Pictured are Robin Haywood, Exalted Ruler, and Frank Sellers Jr., District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler.

The South Southeast District believes in taking care of its own. At their January District Past Exalted Rulers Association meeting, upon hearing the news FSEA employee Amanda Frosch’s vehicle accident, and at the suggestion of District Leader, PSP Vincent Como, the association decided to run a reverse draw raffle for her benefit. Sales began within the district and culminated at the February state quarterly meeting at the Florida Elks Youth Camp. The winning tickets were drawn and several winners, including State President, Frank Malatesta (first ticket drawn), donated their winnings. In total, $4,000 was raised to help Frosch through this trying time. The district wishes her a quick recovery.
