Several members of Live Oak Elks Lodge #1165 made a visit to the Robert H. Jenkins Jr. State Veterans’ Domiciliary Home in Lake City, Florida. They delivered a $1,000 donation from the Elks National Foundation Freedom Grant and also visited with several of the residents who live at the domiciliary. The funds will be used for a social outing day trip for the residents, who have requested to go to the antique car museum. Ed DaSilva, director, said the last trip there was seven years ago and the residents loved it. The veterans were grateful to have the funding to now go again! According to their estimate, they will have enough money left to take a local day trip to Cinema 90 for a second outing.
