New Home of Ellensburg (Wash.) Lodge Dedicated by Judge Kennan

The culmination of sixteen years of persistent and untiring effort by Ellensburg (Wash.) Lodge, No. 1102, was recently celebrated by members and representatives from many Lodges of the State when its new 870,000 Home was officially dedicated by Judge Henry L. Kennan, member of the Grand Forum. A large street parade, in which the representatives and bands of various Washington Lodges took part, preceded the ceremony. An outstanding feature of the dedication was the stirring address made by Hon. Robert E. Evans, of Tacoma, Wash., Lodge No. 174, a member of the Grand Lodge Social and Community Welfare Committee. In the evening the members and visitors gathered in the new Home for the Dedication Ball. As a token of appreciation for its achievement, Ellensburg Lodge received from the Washington State Elks Association a baby grand piano valued at $1,500 for its new Home.
