2522 MOPH

Inverness Elks Lodge #2522 used their Elks National Foundation Freedom Grant to treat some Purple Heart recipients, members of the Aaron Weaver Chapter of the Military Order of the Purpleheart (MOPH), to a half-day guided fishing outing out of Homosassa, Fla. The lodge with assistance from some local businesses provided the participants fishing shirts depicting the joint initiative between the Elks and the MOPH. After the outing, the participants and volunteers were treated to a fish fry prepared by the guides with the help of several lodge members. Awards were provided for the biggest fish, most fish and the fisherman voted the best sport by the guides. Richard Hunt from the MOPH was the unanimous winner of the alternative sport award, a badminton set. The guides felt he might want to hang up his rod and reel and break out the rackets.
