Honored Elks

The June Elk of the Month can be seen helping at most committees including: the Inaugural Ball, Scholarship, Veterans, Strawberry Festival, the Mother’s Day Brunch and many other events. This member enjoys playing darts and dancing to the music at the Lodge, is very creative and has a positive attitude and beautiful smile. Please join me in congratulating Helen Castrellon as the June 2026 Elk of the month.

Karen can be seen at almost all lodge meetings and always has a smile on her face. She is always greeting new members and making them feel welcome. She is always willing to help anyone and has pretty much helped everyone at one time or another. Her attitude is always uplifting and she truly has the lodge’s best interest at heart. The hours Karen has put in to make this lodge better are countless including fundraising for our ritual team, ENF, the Christmas Basket program, the Purple Pig and Youth Activities, attending almost every fundraiser and activity at our lodge and so much more. From stuffing Easter eggs and conducting the Easter egg hunt to leading children in song at our Christmas party and at our many trips to St. Olaf’s pre-school, to working with our local schools to help less fortunate children to rallying the troops and raising money to support many other youth activity programs, Karen is truly erupting with Elkdom.
