The Raleigh Elks Lodge #735 hosted its annual NC Barbecue Chicken George bake-off in September. The event was started by one of our esteemed PER’s several years ago.

The Lodge has continued this event each year to honor the memory of George Orwell . This year’s event was a huge success with over 350 meals sold locally in the area. The Raleigh Elks lodge donated $1400.00 to several Veteran charities in the area.

• USO $600.00
• Durham VA Hospital $400.00
• Veterans Day Luncheon $300.00
• ENF $160.00.

This year’s event was organized by Larry Cox and Michele Delaire with help from a team of several Elks who were key contributors in making this event a success.
