Glendale Elks Lodge #1289 members sure know how to throw a party — especially if it's their centennial year anniversary. On Friday (Dec. 28), Lodge members and guests pulled out all the stops for their themed “Celebrating 100 Years of Service” bash at the local lodge on Colorado.
Close to 250 partygoers in their best finery filled the lodge hall. They were welcomed by Exalted Ruler Richard Adams and offered greeting from the City by Mayor Frank Quintero. “This organization continues just as strong as ever!” said Hizzoner. He continued, “The lodge participates in nonprofit work through the City of Glendale including opening this lodge to other nonprofits.” Mayor Frank presented a commendation to Adams. (Later in the evening, Field Rep Suzanne Dunwell presented a resolution to lodge members on behalf of Assemblyman Mike Gatto.) But the Mayor couldn't stay long. He was off to his next engagement — “a cold tent at Rose Bowl in Pasadena” for the Rose Bowl Assn.
