On Aug. 10, the Eustis Elks Lodge’s Anna Miller Circle held its first Jeans, Jewels & Jammin’ to the Music fundraiser for The Haven of Lake and Sumter Counties. For a $10 ticket, the event included a buffet of heavy appetizers, salads and desserts made and donated by Anna Miller Circle members and T.J. and his kitchen crew. There was also a silent auction of handmade jewelry donated by local award-winning artist, Julie Anstaett. Local rock band The Voodoo Gypsies performed as well. Because everything needed for this event was donated and/or paid for by The Anna Miller Circle, the lodge and generous community members, the event raised $4,800 for The Haven of Lake and Sumter Counties. This will help continue their work to support and provide assistance for domestic and sexual violence survivors through a 24-hour emergency shelter, 24-hour crisis helpline, counseling, legal advocacy sexual assault counseling, forensic assault exams, counseling for violence-exposed children, and so much more.
