Cape Henlopen Lodge Donates to Elks Tornado Victims
An F2 tornado ripped through Kent Island, MD, July 24th. Two Elks members from Lodge #2576 lost everything in the 120+ MPH winds. Kent Island Lodge’s ER, Angela Mayer, issued an urgent plea for help throughout the district. The House Committee from Cape Henlopen Elks took up two collections. Mary Jane Neenan took up a collection during Antlers Up. Combined, the three collections brought in $1,500. Cape Henlopen’s Board matched the funds and a check totaling $3,000 was presented to Kent Island Lodge’s ER, Angela Mayer on August 20th to help those Elk families affected. Lynn Clougher, Cape Henlopen’s ER stated, “We have an incredibly generous Lodge, whenever called upon, our members open up their hearts and their wallets.”

That brings the total of new members taken in since April 1st to over 50, with 16 additional applications in process.
