I am super proud to have my partner in crime along for the journey; Thank You Bill, and thank you Bremerton Elks.

Lecturing Knight
Ian Norgaard
I was born and raised in Bremerton, and have been an Elk for 7 years. I love volunteering and being part of a community steeped in history, rich in tradition, and plentiful in camaraderie. I joined because my family has been members for years, but stayed for the community outreach, the friendship that I've formed and the skills I've learned. My favorite volunteer opportunities were the scholarship committee, and lights on holiday party committee.
