"I went for my first time to hear a speaker and have a meal. Really well run place. All the Elks members were kind and helpful. The food was good and the company reminded me of a time when people moved slower and engaged in conversations with others more freely. The speaker was very knowledgeable about the issues we need to know locally. I want to join the group."
