On Jan. 15, 14 members of Plant City Elks Lodge #1727, along with a daughter and grandson of members, gave up their Saturday morning to unload and spread 45 cubic yards of playground mulch at the Boys & Girls Club in Plant City, Florida. The lodge donated the mulch, valued at $1,000, to make their playground safe and clean. David Brewington, longtime lodge member, loaded his front-end loader and moved the mulch from the parking lot to the playground, where the volunteers raked and spread it evenly. This project was led by member Ed Wise.
