Bradenton Elks Lodge #1511 presented its $2,000 Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant to Turning Points’ Yellow Ribbon Program which focuses on veterans in the community.

The presentation was made Nov. 14 as part of the 2020 Manatee County Stand Down. The 12th Circuit Court and their staffs were also opened this day to hear veterans’ applications for relief from minor offenses, partial or full reduction of fines, parking violations, and other outstanding issues.
