16 years ago

    THE PRESQUE ISLE ELKS LODGE 1954 recently sponsored its second annual Bingo Night to raise funds for the local American Red Cross – Pine Tree Chapter Disaster Relief Fund.

Here, Mary Dickinson, right, exalted ruler of Presque Isle Elks Lodge 1954, presents $881 to Joyce Knorr, Aroostook County branch manager of the Red Cross, to help cover local disaster relief costs incurred throughout the past year. Local Red Cross volunteers responded to the county’s 21st family house fire within 10 months this past week. “We are so grateful to the Presque Isle Elks Lodge for making this an annual event,” said Knorr. “And we are pleased that so many community members participated to support a worthy cause while enjoying a fun evening!” Dickinson said the local Elks challenge other civic organizations to support the Red Cross, as well.
