On Sunday December 8th, the Lacey Elks Lodge 2518 gathered as one in sacred unity, joining Lodges across the nation in a tradition both solemn and deeply meaningful. Together, we honored the cherished Members who have gone before us, embarking on their eternal journey.

On that day, we paused to reflect on a truth that binds us: An elk is never forgotten, never forsaken. Though our hearts feel the weight of loss, we take comfort in the enduring legacies of those who graced our lives with their kindness, strength, and unwavering fellowship.

These are more than names to be read aloud—they are lives to be celebrated. They were the light in our darkest moments, the voice of encouragement when we faltered, and the steady presence that turned our Lodges into a second home.
