5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 00:30, 22 July 2020 (UTC).Reply

5x expansion verified, other article requirements met. While all hooks are cited inline and either verified or AGF accepted, ALT3 may be the best option here as the most unusual. I could suggest linking to Elks Lodge for the benefit of non-American readers, but as the article title already has Elks Lodge in it this may be unnecessary, so consider this an optional comment. QPQ has been done. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:33, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
