On Sept. 11, Plant City Elks Lodge #1727 honored first responders by bringing them lunch. Manny Rousso, owner of The Wooden Spoon, and Ryan Danielik, managing partner of The Outback Steakhouse, both lodge members, prepared the food. Fire Rescue Deputy Chief of Administration, Timothy Mossgrove, said the Elks “are amazing community partners. They support Fire and Rescue 100 percent. For them to think of us on such a memorial day of 9/11, to bring us lunch for all the crews at the department, is absolutely amazing. We really appreciate it.”
