Members of the Elks Lodge #187 picked up the items and congratulated the students Wednesday, March 21, 2018. The items will assist local organizations serving low-income families, homeless & transitional living centers, veterans organizations, family & children’s violence centers, elderly care and persons with disabilities organizations.
