Congratulations to all Officers, Trustees and Committee members. Let's all look to another, great, productive year here at BPOE #1776.
Our recent Annual Elks Hoop Shoot Competition resulted in our Dunkirk Elks Lodge Winner in the 8-9 the old age advancing to State.
His name is Milo Overmyer and he is the son of Mr and Mrs Jonathan and Whitney Overmyer from Redkey, Indiana.
Young Milo advanced and played in the World Famous "Hoosiers" movie gymnasium in Knightstown on February 24th, where he placed a very respectable 6th among Statewide competition!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU MILO!!
It was wonderful to share that special day with you in Knightstown and I am very proud of the fine young man that represented our Lodge and District so well.
March/April Banquet Room rentals are filling up very quickly. If you want or need to rent the banquet room, you'll need to book your event as early as possible to avoid scheduling conflicts.

It was decided in a recent Lodge meeting that this year we will donate $250.00 to the Dunkirk Community Easter Egg Hunt on behalf of The Dunkirk Elks Lodge.
At this printing, I do not have a date for The Dunkirk Community Easter Egg Hunt, so the date is TBA/TBD.
I would like for any members who wish, to please attend and represent the Lodge.
