The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.) is famous for community service, and projects to serve our communities are often wonderful social gatherings as well as rewarding experiences for the good that we do for others.

Following are just a few of the public service activities that have become Elks traditions:

• The Elks Scholarship Essay Contest
• The Elks Drug Awareness program
• The Elks Nationwide Annual Hoop Shoot to benefit the youth in our communities
