After the ballots were counted, the results were 60 ballots in favor of smoking at the Augusta Lodge in a designated area and 20 ballots against.

Proceeds are going to ENF to help the Lodge meet its goal
Last call for ENF donations this month
The 2009-2010 Lodge year is quickly coming to a close, but there is still time to make your annual ENF donation.
ENF is the single largest fundraiser for all Elks nationwide.
We are close, but still need your help. We have not yet met our goal. It doesn't matter how much you donate, everyone's help and generosity is needed.
Many of you have already donated this year to the charities and events we support. Please consider a donation to ENF as important as other charitable
donations you make. Time is short and all donations for this year must be
received and sent to ENF before March 15th.
Donations can be made at the Lodge or online at www.elks.org.
