The Morden Legion will be installing much-needed new doors for both the clubroom and hall, and the project got a $5,000 boost last week from the Elks Lodge.
“The Morden Elks appreciate our relationship with the Legion,” said Elks exalted ruler Henry Penner. “We think it’s a valuable thing for the community because the Legion is a big part of the community … we appreciate the Legion, and we appreciate being able to help them.”
“We’ve had a great relationship with the Elks over the years,” said Legion president Bob Frost, who noted the Elks use the facility for meetings and many events and as a result bring in revenue. “We also have a lot of Elks members who are also Legion members.
It will also be a fairly expensive project for the Legion, noted first vice-president Jason Evert.
“The doors were installed in the ‘60s when the building was built … having them updated is not only going to provide us with more energy efficient space but also make them more accessible,” he said. “It’s important to make our Legion more accessible to everybody here in the community.”
