Chanute Elks 806 presented a $2,000 donation to St. Patrick’s Catholic Church food pantry this evening. Food pantries across the nation have experienced increased need due to the COVID-19 economic shutdown. Once again the Elks stepped up to meet this need in Chanute. Funds for the Lodge’s donation came from a grant application to the Elks National Foundation (ENF). ENF provides local Elks Lodges the ability to be a “Spotlight” in their community. Each year grants are awarded through ENF’s community investment program. Pictured (L-R) are Linda Springer, St. Pat’s food pantry volunteer; Frank Springer, Grand IG; Fr. Michael Linnebur, pastor at St. Pat’s; Zach Novotny, Exalted Ruler; and Barbara Novotny, Leading Knight.
COVID-19 delayed the award presentation a few months but couldn’t dampen this champion’s smile. Alleigh Barriger, Soccer Shoot National Champion, girls U-8 division, was presented her certificate of achievement, champion’s pin & congratulatory letter from the GER. Pictured with Alleigh (L-R) are Brenda Harrison, PDDGER; Zach Novotny, Exalted Ruler; and Frank Springer, Grand IG. Also attending the ceremony were Mid-America Soccer Shoot Chairman, Loren Anthony with his wife Jackie, and DDGER Kathy Clark with her husband Tom. Alleigh is the daughter of Nick & Tia Barriger. Chanute Lodge 806 hosted a dinner with Alleigh and her family after the presentation.
