On May 18, Green Cove Springs Elks Lodge #1892 hosted residents of the Clyde E. Lassen Veterans Nursing Home and their guests for lunch and an afternoon of fishing from the lodge's dock. This was funded through a portion of the Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant. Fourteen lodge members assisted 16 residents, 15 family members and friends, and five nursing home staff members with fishing and served a lunch of burgers, hot dogs, chips and ice cream.
