Elks Lodge 380 held an installation ceremony for its 2024-25 officers on March 17.
Lodge 380's newly installed Exalted Ruler Jackie Holloway is the first woman to hold the position in the lodge's 125-year history, "and spoke to attendees of her dedication to the Elks and her determination to continue the good work of the Lodge with the support of members," a news release said.
Bill Sams, DDGER, was the Grand Installing Officer, who performed the installation and instructed the new officers to fulfill their duties diligently and always with the mission of the Elks foremost in their minds, it said.
"Lodge 380 is known for its community service, active involvement in veterans' support programs, scholarship programs, and support of the five Human Development Centers in Arkansas, among many other programs," the release said.
