CASINO NIGHT — On July
25, Lincoln Emblem Club hosted its first Casino Night for Elks and
Emblem Club members and their guests.
Casino Party Planners from
Springfield set up 10 professional gaming tables and provided the
dealers. Guests were given chips to use at the gaming tables, and at
the end of the evening, 10 raffle prizes from local Lincoln
businesses were awarded. The event proved to be a fun and unique
evening for everyone. Look for us again next year!
HAPPY FEET RESULTS — August 10 was the annual Happy Feet event,
where Lincoln Emblem Club, working with Shoe Sensations, provides
new school shoes to children in Logan County. This community service
project has been in operation for 10 years and has provided more
than 730 pairs of shoes to local children.

This year, 13 schools, six

distribute to children in need of new shoes. Shoe Sensations
arrived early at the Lincoln Elks Ballroom with a van full of
shoes ready for the children to select from. This year was a
blue-ribbon year, with 146 pairs of shoes given to children—our
largest year yet!
