🛠️💙 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TOMORROW FOR STRAP SUNDAY! 💙🛠️

The High Point Elks Pool Committee is rolling up our sleeves tomorrow beginning at NOON to help get the pool ready for another amazing summer season, and we would love extra hands!
We’ll be: ✔ Repairing pool lounge chairs
✔ Replacing chair straps
✔ Staining the diving board steps
✔ Painting the lifeguard area
✔ Painting bathroom floors
✔ Tackling lots of small cleanup and improvement projects

The High Point Elks Lodge is so much more than just a pool. The Elks support veterans, youth programs, scholarships, community outreach, charitable causes, local families in need, and provide a place where friendships and community connections are built year after year. 🇺🇸❤️
Every coat of paint, every repaired chair, and every helping hand helps keep this space welcoming for families all summer long.
✨ You do NOT have to be an Elks member to help!
Members, friends, scouts, families, neighbors, and community supporters are all welcome. No special skills needed, just a willingness to help. Many hands truly make light work!

A huge thank you to Lowe’s Hardware off North Main Street for donating the stain and paint supplies for this project! 🧡

📍 High Point Elks Lodge Pool
700 Old Mill Road, High Point
🗓 Saturday, May 17
⏰ Starting at Noon

Come for an hour or stay all afternoon. Bring work gloves, a paint brush if you have one, and your community spirit. Let’s help make the pool sparkle for summer! ☀️🏊‍♂️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, foster moms, and mother figures who help shape the lives of our Scouts.

Thank you for the early mornings, muddy laundry, late night rides, camp packing, encouragement at every rank advancement, and the steady love that helps young people grow into strong leaders of character.

Behind every confident Scout is often a mom cheering quietly in the background, tying loose ends, lifting spirits, and believing fiercely in what they can become.

Today we celebrate YOU. ❤️

From all of us at our Scouting families, thank you for the countless ways you lead, serve, and love.

Happy Mother’s Day!
