Rotonda Elks Lodge #2710 hosted a first responders appreciation luncheon Jan. 29 at the lodge. Invitations were sent to their local sheriff and firefighters to recognize them for risking their lives to make life safe for everyone. Elkettes Jenny Perry and Barbara Kelley delivered meals to the stations for first responders who were unable to attend.
