“We served three Littleton stations and three rotations of each station,” Kim said. “They were very appreciative.”

About the Americanism Committee: The ambition and goal of the Americanism Program is to quicken the spirit of American patriotism and to stimulate an awareness — a genuine feeling of pride and respect toward patriotism — so that we as Members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will become constant reminders to the people of our Nation that America truly means freedom and that Elks Care and Elks Share. The Americanism Committee works on building relationships with students and schools to increase patriotism within our youth and school system.  We have an annual essay contest, volunteering opportunities, raising and retreating flags at schools, and teaching students proper flag etiquette.
