Among the many highlights of the convention will be a special dinner Saturday evening honoring Nichelson and his first lady, Mary Carolyn. Saturday afternoon there will be a fund-raising luncheon and auction for the state’s major project, Safe Haven, which offers emergency shelter and care for abused and neglected children. Last year, the Nevada Elks generated more than $60,000 for this project. All monies donated go directly to support the Safe Haven homes that are called upon to care for the abused and neglected children that are removed from harm's way.
