For patients at Bay Pines VAMC who do not have family or friends who can bring them items, donations of hygiene kits are most appreciated. St. Petersburg Elks Lodge #1224 donated $550 to the Elks hospital fund at the VAMC for toiletries for veterans who visit Elks Room 106, managed by Johnny Miller, while they are receiving care at Bay Pines. The donation was raised by the lodge’s trivia night event Feb. 6.
