| Brother Glen Shain - Elks President |
Welcome to our website. My wife Mable and I are the Provincial Presidents this year and we have chosen "WORKING TOGETHER" as our theme. We will enjoy a lot of fun and fellowship as we travel across the Province together.
The Elks and Royal Purple sell a lot of tickets but they are all for a good cause. We sponsor many great activities in our Province and across the Nation, some of them being the Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children, the Walk-A-Thon for SPARC (Saskatchewan Pediatric Auditory Rehabilitation Center) for the hearing impaired children, the PEACE 100 that funds the DARE (Drug Resistance) Program, and we put "Teasing and Bulling" kits in the schools.
If you like helping others come out and join in some or all of our activities. You do not need to be a member to attend one of our meetings or join in the fun. Our son said that if he had known how much fun we had or that we helped so many children he would have joined long ago so wc're trying to let you all know about the fun and good times we have. We have darts, howling, golf, and 3 levels of curling, so come out and HAVF FUN.

Welcome to our website. This year my husband Glenn and I are the Provincial Presidents in Saskatchewan, and we have chosen, as our theme, "WORKING TOGETHER". Together, we can make a difference.
The Royal Purple, along with the Elks raise funds for those in need. The "Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children" helps those 18 years and under while the Saskatchewan Elks Foundation helps those 19 and over. A form must he filled out and submitted through your local lodge.
We sell many tickets including the Charity Appeal tickets which support the Foundation, PEACE 100 which supports the Drug Awareness or DARE program that is taught in schools where there is a DARE Officer in the area and Walk-A-Thon tickets which supports SPARC (Saskatchewan Pediatric Auditory Rehabilitation Center) in Saskatoon. We also collect can tabs which are sold to raise money to pay for ½ of a TAB (Teasing & Bullying) kit purchased by Elks and Royal Purple Lodges and given to schools in their areas. Our goal is to have one of these kits in every school in Saskatchewan. It only takes a second to remove the tab, so PLEASE, do this and give them to ANY member of the Elks or Royal Purple.
We also sponsor a Literary, Poster, and Video contest each year, with prizes awarded at the Local, Provincial, and National levels. If you think this sounds like something you would like to get involved with, contact your nearest Elks or Royal Purple Lodge for more information. You may attend any meeting without being a member. PLEASE check us out, we would he overjoyed to have you come to our meetings, or help us out in any of our fundraisers.
