The Southern Pines Elks Lodge # 1692 held a Golf Tournament at Southern Pines Golf Club on September 9th to benefit Veterans and First Responders in the Sandhills area. Pre-tournament festivities included a color guard presentation by Pinecrest High School AFJROTC members, a solo performance by Amey Parkins who sang the Star Spangled Banner, and a “Most Patriotic” outfit contest. A total of 92 golfers participated, playing in a Captain’s Choice format. The proceeds will be used to serve our local Veterans and First Responders offering continued support of veteran construction renovations, Fayetteville Veterans Home and service dog support. Volunteers worked behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. The community was very generous with: sponsorships, donations, prizes, a catered lunch, beverage cart, prizes and gift bags for each golfer.
We also plan to once again continue our special “Thank You Breakfast” Christmas morning reaching out to 80 policeman and 5 police departments and firefighters at 17 fire stations providing breakfast meals, water, cookies and a Christmas card.
The Elks want to thank all our supporters who made this event a great success so they can continue to reach out to Veterans and First Responders. Elks Care, Elks Share!
