The Decorah Elks #433 has been awarded $1,500 from the Elks National Gratitude Grant. Gratitude Grants are used to serve the community in a charitable way and meet local needs.

The grant money, plus $1,000 from Elks members and community donations, will be donated to the Royal Family KIDS Camp, which provides, free of charge, a one-week summer camp for 32 foster children, ages 6-12. The Royal Family KIDS Camp provides this camp experience for children in eastern Iowa, including Winneshiek County.

If you are interested in donating, or joining the Decorah Elks, stop by the office at 105 River Street or call 563-382-6399.
