The Lodge invited the varsity football players, varsity cheerleaders, and 4H and FFA members for the meal. The meal was served by Lodge volunteers, and Deming Mayor Benny Jasso was also present.
Mayor Jasso earlier signed a proclamation declaring the first week in May as "Youth Week in Deming". The Elk's Mascot, Elroy Elk, was also present for the festivities.
Youth Week is celebrated by almost 2000 Elks Lodges throughout the country with the belief that "Youth are the Future of our Country.
