Lake County Elementary School receives new flag from Leadville Elks Lodge 236

On June 14, 2021 the Elks Lodge 236  held its annual Flag Day Ceremony, rich with history and tradition.  Employees of Lake County School District attended, and the ceremony ended with Exalted Ruler Andrew Ault presenting a new flag to Eva Mascarenas, Custodial Director for Lake County School District.  The new flag will be flown over the new Lake County Elementary School.  The School District is very grateful for this meaningful gift and appreciative of our partnership with the Elks Lodge in Leadville.

J.R Cruz explains the history of the Flag Day Ceremony held at Elks Lodges all over the nation since 1911. Seated left to right are: Eva Mascarenas, Mike Vagher, Bunny Taylor, Bethany Massey, Kathleen Fitzsimmons, and Nancy Ault.
