Tampa Lodge donated $200 toward Troop #399’s Ashton Offutt’s Eagle Scout project. On Sept. 18 at 9 a.m. an Eagle Scout court of honor was held, and as it rained during a good bit of the ceremony, all were appreciative of Offutt’s project — 10 well-constructed benches protected by a shade/inclement weather canvas cover at Claywell Elementary. Offutt was presented with a Grand Lodge Eagle Scout certificate during the ceremony. Offutt is pictured with elementary school teacher Jenny Paloumpis, his school liaison for his Eagle Project. Also pictured are Frank Smith Sr., Tampa Elks scouting liaison; Ashton Offutt; and Tampa Elks Wendy Wiesler and George Hilficker.
