In honor of Elks National Youth Week, May 1-7, the Lordsburg Elks Lodge hosted a special luncheon Sunday, May 3, for the Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) and the Americorps. Youth members of these two organizations were also given certificates of appreciation from the Lordsburg Elks Lodge. YVC and Americrops gives local youth the opportunity to participate in service learning projects--instilling volunteerism in them that will hopefully last a lifetime. These organizations and the Elks share in this core value. During Elks National Youth Week, Elks lodges across the nation celebrate the accomplishments of youth. The local event was recognized by the City of Lordsburg through a special proclamation issued by Lordsburg Mayor Clark Smith.
