The Norfolk Elks Kick-Off Patriotism Week

The Norfolk Elks had a special "Kick-off Patriotism Week" Dinner at the Norfolk Elks Lodge Friday evening, February 13th.   More than 50 Elks and guests attended.

Councilwoman Vicki Saunders lead the ceremony by reading the Norfolk City Council's Patriotism Week Proclamation.  In her comments she praised the Norfolk Elks for providing leadership in the community for promoting "Patriotism Spirit" and for its many Flag Day presentations throughout the community.

Also on the program were Stephanie Parks, a sixth grader from Northern Hills School and daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Douglas Parks; and Jacob Malcom, an eight grader from the Allen Community Schools and son of Michelle Saxen.  These students read their winning "Patriotism Essay" themes to the audience.

After the "Pledge of Allegiance" was recited, the audience enjoyed a fine dinner prepared by Tony and Marie Kochenash, Chairpersons for the Event.
