On Dec. 6, Sebring Lodge hosted its annual Christmas luncheon for veterans at the lodge. There were 31 veterans and their caregivers in attendance from several local assisted living facilities as well as invited veterans. Also in attendance were lodge volunteers and Santa (nonmember Chip Boring). Ret. Sergeant Jose Santos, pictured, gave the opening prayer and presented each veteran with a special veterans pin. A ham dinner was provided by the Elks and cooked by Chef Jacob Lyons from Hands for Homeless. Member Patsy Howard sang "Proud To Be an American."
