I joined the Elks Lodge in the last hundred days or so I've really gotten a fair amount out of that one of the big things is they have the garage sale and I managed to have someone come by pick up my old pool table and take that you get a donated sold whatever and I'm just happy to get rid of that thing it had it for probably the last 20 years of my life it was at my parents house and then it came to my duplex and now I just want the space freed up for other storage and utilization so I'm glad I was able to get that accomplished.
