Memorial Garden Fundraiser
The Anda Tudor Monarch Waystation and Elks #157 Memorial Garden Fundraiser
In September 2025, a monarch waystation butterfly garden was installed in the alley between the Elks building and the law offices in honor and memory of our departed member and friend Anda Tudor. We have commissioned local artist Victoria Van Buskirk (daughter of PER Jason Van Buskirk) to paint a commemorative mural on the wall, and we need your help to raise the funds for the artwork! We would also like feedback to help select the exact design for the mural. We need to raise approximately $3,500 for the artwork and the continued care and upkeep of the garden.
We are offering members the opportunity to have their loved one’s names inscribed on garden plaques that will be placed throughout the butterfly garden. The sponsorship opportunities, sizes, and pricing are listed below. We will also be posting a voting box at the bar for members to help select the design, and where additional donations for the mural can be placed as well. Every dollar counts!
