Newton Elks #1270 sponsors summer sports leagues

Newton Elks Lodge #1270 representatives Bill Cobbs (E.R.) and Craig VanWyk (head trustee) present Newton YMCA CEO Frank Buckley, associate executive director Rhonda Robson and Youth & Adult Sports Program Director Scott Taylor with a check for $1,500. The gift allowed the Y to offer summer sport leagues for hundreds of area youth. “These leagues have run now for two consecutive summers and continue to have great appeal to our kids. The leagues keep the kids physically active during the summer, but more importantly keep them socially engaged with their peers. We can’t thank the members of the Elks Lodge for all they do for our community and especially the Y,” Taylor said. The Newton Elks Lodge #1270 has been a faithful supporter of the Newton YMCA for more than 10 years. Whether through financial giving or volunteerism, the Newton Y knows they can count on the Elks.
