🚨 BY POPULAR DEMAND — THE GRINNELL ELKS APPAREL STORE IS OPEN AGAIN! 🚨

Our first round of shirts has arrived, and after seeing them in person, we’ve had many people say, “I should have ordered one!”

Good news, we’re reopening the store for a limited time!

⏰ Orders must be placed by July 7th.

Don’t miss your chance to grab your Grinnell Elks gear before the store closes again. Whether you’re looking for shirts, hats, or other apparel, now is the time to order!

Our friends at the Grinnell American Legion are looking for assistance locating a tote containing flag harnesses that was lost on Memorial Day in Grinnell’s Central Park.

These harnesses are used to carry flags during ceremonies and are an important part of honoring our veterans and our nation.

If you have seen them or know where they may be, please contact Lloyd Jones at 641-521-4230.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this evening for our Flag Day Ceremony. Your presence helped make this special tradition a meaningful tribute to our nation’s flag and the freedoms it represents.

A special thank you to our participants, volunteers, Scouts, veterans, and everyone who helped make the program a success. We are grateful for the time and dedication that went into tonight’s event.

We would also like to extend special congratulations and appreciation to Officer Kies for his dedication to our Lodge and to Drug Awareness efforts in our community. Through his leadership, the D.A.R.E. program has been reestablished, and we are excited to continue working together to promote drug awareness and help educate and support our youth.

We would also like to thank those who prepared and served the meal following the ceremony. Your generosity and hard work are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for supporting the Grinnell Elks Lodge and helping us honor our flag, our veterans, and our community.
