Elks Lodge 380 adds five new members

Hot Springs Elks Lodge 380 initiated five new members on May 18, after the new members attended an orientation program prior to the initiation, where the history of the Elks, its mission, traditions and volunteer opportunities were explained.

“New members were encouraged to grow as members by participating in upcoming events, such as the Flag Day Ceremony on June 12th at the Lodge, and the annual picnic put on by the Lodge for the clients, families and staff at the Human Development Center at Arkadelphia” on June 3, the release said.
