Liverpool Lodge Boy Scouts

 Liverpool Elks Lodge #2348 ER Phil Spenser and PDD Robert McCallum welcomed Boy Scout Troop 840 from Stafford Virginia to their lodge.  The Scout troop was traveling from Stafford Virginia to Massawpie Scout Camp in Tupper Lake, NY.  They spent the night camping out in the Banquet Hall of the Lodge. They visited Heid’s of Liverpool and Vicky’s Tasty Treats, two well know local establishments.  The Lodge treated them to breakfast pizzas, muffins, OJ and milk before they left the next morning for the remainder of their trip to Tupper Lake. It was an honor to assist these young men and their adult leaders on their journey.

Oswego Lodge Spotlight Grant

Oswego Elks Lodge recently received a $2,000 Spotlight Grant from the Elks National Foundation. The grant is used to shine a light on issues facing local communities. This year, the Oswego Elks have used the grant monies to purchase food for the nutritional services program at Oswego County Opportunities. 


Eighteen volunteers gathered at the Oswego Elks Lodge to fill 500 bags of food that will be distributed to residents across Oswego County. Volunteers include Bill and Mary Kerfien who shopped for the food. Oswego County Opportunities will also be purchasing fresh meat products from Davis Meats with monies from the grant.
