“ROXBORO ELKS HONORED BY THE PERSON COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION”

By: Derrick Sims

The Roxboro Elks Lodge was honored during a ceremony on September 12, 2019 by the Person County Board of Education. Lodge members were presented with the distinguished “Pride in Person” Award for their service project that assisted teachers in need of school supplies. The Roxboro Lodge raised money through a year-long fundraiser that started in August of 2018. The Lodge was able to assist nearly 75 teachers from every school in Person County with a $50.00 Visa gift card to go towards school supplies. The Roxboro Elks thank the Board of Education for the recognition and look forward to continue this project for next year.
