The Frederick Allen Elks Lodge #609 is hosting their first annual JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION at THE LODGE!
With a short program of sharing, daring, and caring, we are invited to gather to celebrate the legacy of Juneteenth and FREEDOM — on our country's newest National holiday (finally!) — with historical insights, dramatic offerings, inspiring words, and unifying, uplifting music ... topped off with cake and ice cream. Come celebrate how far we have come and recommit to the "dream" of where we want to go — together!
