On July 9, members from Jupiter Elks Lodge #2469 and Vinny Como, PSP met with the Dan Marino Foundation and met Dan’s autistic son, Mike. This was done to build a relationship with a like-minded organization that supports causes that need attention, like autism. The Elks toured the foundation and learned about their programs and technology tools.
