MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Our name “EMBLEM” signifies the Flag of the United States of America, which is preserved and cherished as a priceless possession.

Emblem began as a small group of Elk’s ladies meeting together in 1917 to wrap bandages for World War I. They enjoyed the sociability, and at the same time felt the joy of accomplishment. The combination of assisting others and enjoying good fellowship appealed to other women, and a community group came together.

As members of Emblem we are dedicated to performing charitable acts in our communities our State and our Nation. We take pride in giving back - by way of contributing our time, talent, money and other resources to improve the quality of life in our communities.

This is truly a labor of love… and we as members of this great organization are proud of our part in helping to build a brighter future for those around us.
