In 1907 the Elks Grand Lodge designated June 14 as Flag Day and the Elks were the first fraternal organization to observe Flag Day. The Orange Elks were chartered in 1923 and have had a Flag Day Celebration program each year. This year was no exception. Chairmen Don Westerfield presented a fun filled program that was enthusiastic, patriotic, foot stomping and lots of singing to highlight the evening.
