Bradenton Elks Lodge #1511, in conjunction with local television NBC station WSB Channel 10, collected socks, candy, gum, toothpaste and snacks to be sent to deployed service members. This donation was made possible by an Elks National Foundation Freedom Grant of $1,000 and $151 from the lodge charity account.
