Found in the Attic
Recently, as part of scavenging photos from the attic to digitally archive them, we came across this pamphlet -- "BPOE Elks National Service Commission, Annual Report, Chicago - 1967."

If so, please email them to [email protected], with a brief description and we'll add them to our living history and our Throwback Thursday rotation! Read the full article
