On Jan. 29, the Southeast Central District hosted a fundraiser for the Army of Hope at Vero Beach Elks Lodge #1774. The Army of Hope is a charity of the Florida Elks and assists veterans and their family members financially or otherwise. The event was attended by 85 members and guests from the district lodges and included a performance by Re-Creation. After the show, the members and guests talked with the cast and posed for pictures. Everyone in the audience was impressed by this group of young entertainers and how much they care about veterans. The event raised more than $2,000.
