Naples Lodge Gifts Anniversary Grant to PAWS
- Details
- Written by Patricia Nakos
Naples Elks Lodge #2010 presented a check for $1,350 to PAWS Assistance Dogs of Naples using the Elks National Foundation Anniversary Grant. PAWS provides dogs to veterans and disabled children. The PAWS volunteers attended a luncheon at the lodge in their honor. After a brief presentation of the services they provide, two service dogs in training and their trainers gave a demonstration of their training. The Elks and guests who attended were so impressed that they made additional donations totaling over $675, providing PAWS with over $2,000 for their organization.
