CCC Dart Tournament
This year's dart tournament to benefit the Illinois Elks Children's Care Corporation (CCC) will take place Saturday, February 28th. This will be the 30th year this fundraiser has been held by our Lodge. What if I don’t play darts? Doesn’t matter. There are plenty of other ways to participate, have fun, and contribute to this great cause: prize raffles, 50/50 drawings, gun raffle, bar games, silent and live auctions (live auction takes place at approximately 6:00 pm). How can I help? Show up. Come out with your friends and take part in the raffles, bid on the auction items, donate items for the auctions, or buy a sponsor board ($100). What if I want to volunteer, donate or have questions? Call Lynn Porter (618)534-5722 or B.J. Wyatt (618)967-9432.
