Newton Elks Exalted Ruler honored

Newton Elks Lodge No. 1270 Exalted Ruler Bill Cobbs was recently honored at the Iowa Elks Association Fall State convention in Des Moines.

The Elks National Drug Awareness Program is the largest volunteer drug awareness program in the United States.

The Elks National Foundation, which was started in 1928 to help Elks build stronger communities invests in communities where Elks live and work.

Elks also help those that served our country.

In VA clinics, veterans’ homes, USOs, homeless shelters and more, thousands of Elks volunteers give generously of their time, energy and resources to serve veterans and military members each year.

To learn more about giving back to your community, volunteering or becoming a member of the Elks Lodge, contact Cobbs at 641-792-4118.
