On Nov. 16, members of the Eustis Elks Lodge’s Anna Miller Circle #1578 packed 25 Thanksgiving dinners for Eustis Elementary students and their families. Included in the dinner packages were instant potatoes, canned vegetables, sweet potatoes, cranberries, gravy, stuffing, dessert mixes and a gift certificate to purchase the meat of their choice at a grocery store. All food items were donated by members of the Anna Miller Circle and Eustis Lodge. Yvonne Spikes made a generous donation to ensure all meals were completed for each family, and United Southern Bank provided the bags in which to pack the dinners.
The food packages were delivered to Eustis Elementary Nov. 17, the last school day before the holiday break, by Anna Miler member Judi MacCarroll and Elk Tom McCarroll. Carrie White, Eustis Elementary counselor, accepted them. Also pictured are the packages. The donation is valued at $1,500.
