       2763 gloves 2763 desserts

On June 15, veterans from Douglas T. Jacobson State Veterans Nursing Home in Port Charlotte, Florida, enjoyed lunch and bingo at Deep Creek Elks Lodge #2763. Peggie Sue Dygert, lodge member and Elks Deputy VAVS Representative to the nursing home, purchased a case each of Hershey’s chocolate bars and Moon Pies for them to take back to the nursing home and she provided 24 sets of wheelchair gloves in various sizes, which were donated by the Elks leather program. Volunteers from the Ladies of Elks helped with calling bingo and visited with the veterans. Pictured are a grateful veteran enjoying his new gloves. Also pictured are the gloves and desserts.
