A huge THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers and chefs who helped make this weekend’s State President Visit such a success! ❤️

We had a fun-filled weekend, starting with a fishing charter on Friday, followed by a wonderful dinner on Saturday evening with our members, visiting members, and special guests. It was truly our pleasure to host everyone and share some great food, laughs, and Elk fellowship!

None of it would have been possible without the volunteers and chefs who gave their time and worked behind the scenes to make sure everything came together. We are incredibly grateful for each of you!

To top off an already fantastic weekend, we also raised over $500 for the Maine Children’s Cancer Program (MCCP)! 🎗️❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined us, volunteered, cooked, donated, and helped make the weekend one to remember. This is what Elkdom is all about — community, fellowship, and giving back! 🦌
