âThe Elks are a community service fraternity. Itâs what our main purpose is, to give back to the community,â says Lincoln City Elks Lodge 1886 Exalted Ruler Ed Hogan.
And this holiday season, the local Elks Lodge is giving back in a unique way by hosting a drive through/walk through event.
On Dec. 20, between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. the Elks are inviting the public to drive through their lodge parking lot at 1350 SE Oar Ave. in Lincoln City to say hello to Santa Claus and collect a kids goodie bag. Santaâs elves will be in attendance to hand out bags filled with candy and other stocking stuffers to all kids ages eight and under while supplies last. And of course, Santa will be perched in his chair waving to all the boys and girls.
