On Aug. 7, Saint Augustine Elks Lodge #829 made its monthly visit to Clyde E. Lassen Veterans’ Nursing Home. On the first Wednesday of each month for approximately three years, a group of members have thrown a birthday party with cake, balloons and smiles for the residents. The veterans especially enjoy the conversations that take place.
Pictured are group leader, Randy Cook, PER, Leading Knight, and group members Dianne Cook, Elk and FLOE Treasurer; Vince Leth; and Michael Stallings, trustee. Also pictured is Randy Cook presenting the monthly birthday cake to retired Army Chaplain William J. Daniels.
