For those of us wanting to get out of the house, there's Banjo night Wednesdays at the Elks club. What is the Elks Club? AI tells us that The Elks, officially the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, are a fraternal, non-profit organization. They're "dedicated to community service through various charitable programs that benefit veterans, youth, and those in need. The organization's core principles are Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. The Elks are a “patriotic organization…" To join you have to be over 21, have good moral character and believe in God.”
