The Elks have played a crucial role in advancing all three of OHSU's missions: teaching, research and patient care, for pediatric eye patients.

Thank you to all that participated in the 50/50 RAFFLE (especially Bob for making it happen). 50% of the raffle went to Divide Camp, P.O. Box 49, Joseph, Oregon. 541-531-9939 - email: dividecamp@charter.net
Elks member Vesta is presenting a check to Julie for Divide Camp. Divide Camp is a place where warriors experience the healing power of nature, in the company of people who have a heart for service. They are not rushed. They are not pushed. They are not proselytized or therapized. They are simply cared for (and about) in an evnironment where God alone heals. The soul may not be really"visible" but the transformation of the soul is recognizable and spending time at Divide Camp is CPR fot the soul. Our hope is that they find a measure of peace that was missing. http://dividecamp.org/
