On June 17, Dunedin/Clearwater Elks Lodge #1525 had its first visit to Baldomero Lopez State Veterans Nursing Home since before the pandemic. They purchased, transported and cooked hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, beans, potato salad, cookies, water and soda for 120 residents and 30 staff members as well as a few visiting guests. Due to illnesses, they only served approximately 75 people, but they donated all that was left to the nursing home for future use.
