On Oct. 22, the Fort Myers Ladies of Elks donated $500 to the City of Palms Youth Choir. Founded in 2016, the choir provides an opportunity for young singers in southwest Florida to enhance their choral education beyond school and church programs. Donations such as this one allow the choir to continue its approach to rehearsing and performing high-quality treble and mixed voice choral pieces.
