On July 22, Manasota Elks Lodge #2734 held a barbecue lunch of hot dogs, hamburgers, salads, baked beans and ice cream at Veterans Village. About 20 veteran residents and staff members attended. Funds from the Elks National Foundation Focus Grant were used to purchase for the food, and Lodge Veterans Committee members prepared and served the food.
