Tom Scully received a certificate of merit from the Elks National Foundation for his $1,000 donation to the Elks.
Tom Scully is a past exalted ruler of the Santa Monica Elks. Ken Lady, district chairman, said Scully’s donation will play an important part in future Elks programs.
All donations to the Elks are invested — only the interest is spent. Last year, the California Hawaii Elks received $2.16 for every dollar that was donated.
Doug Randall, the current exalted ruler of the Santa Monica Elks said the Elks National Foundation has contributed funds to numerous Santa Monica Elks programs.
The Elks National Foundation distributed nearly $15 million nationwide, $3.2 million of which went to scholarships. Last year, 107,651 donors contributed $5,246,317 to the fund, Lady said. Get close to the bay’s bottom-feeders
