Drug Awareness

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has committed itself to a program of drug awareness directed at young people in grades four through nine and their parents.

This program was formally established in 1983 at the Grand Lodge Session in Honolulu, Hawaii. Since that time, the state associations and the Lodges of the Order have devoted countless voluntary hours to this program. All of this activity has resulted in numerous projects and programs that have been extremely successful. For more detail on the complete program, it is necessary for each volunteer committee member to read and familiarize themselves with the Drug Awareness Program (DAP) publication 125 "ELKS Drug Awareness Education Program."
