HUNTERS INFORMATION
Providing Hunters with Useful Info
The Reno Elks Lodge Leather Program is currently processing big game hides for shipping to New York State for tanning in support of the Elks National Veterans Service Commission Hides Program. The hides were donated by big game hunters and were then processed and prepared for shipping by Reno Elks Lodge Volunteers Bill Bowen, Dave Larson, Rick Matulich and Diane Takach. The hides will be shipped by a commercial carrier through arrangements made by Paul Enos, Reno Lodge member and CEO of the Nevada Trucking Association.
In 2023-2024, The Grand Lodge Veterans Leather Program saw 8 states collect a total of 11,916 hides for donation to the program, which provided 938 Veterans with free wheelchair gloves. 74,761 square feet of leather was donated by Elks to provide free craft kits for recovering Veterans. From that, 14,188 Veterans received free leather craft kits.
A special heartfelt thank you to those generous Elk members who donated hides to this worthwhile Veterans program.
