Saint Louis Elks Lodge #9 hosts 9th Annual Shop with a Cop
Due to a longstanding partnership with the Creve Coeur Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit, Sunday December 8th the lodge hosted families from Parkway Northeast Middle School, Police Officers, and lodge staff who were provided an all-American breakfast followed by 10 youths being transported to area malls where they shopped (monies were donated by the Lodge and the Neighborhood Watch) followed by everyone reconvening in the Hall of America for lunch and pictures. Huge thanks to Officer Cambra Pogue and Lodge Secretary Missy Dillon who made it happen.
