Inverness Elks Lodge #2522 continues to support the efforts of its sponsored Boy Scout Troop, #302. For his Eagle Scout project, Joseph Cabrera retrofitted an old, discarded mailbox into a depository for retired American flags. Many lodge members as well as the general public inquire about the flag disposal process, so this initiative was most helpful. Lodge member Brad Kline and associate member Bob Aldunati donated the mailbox, and all materials utilized were provided by the lodge. Pictured Dec. 27 with the completed project are Steve Epple, scout leader; Cabrera; and Mike Orndorff, PER, Youth Activities Chair.
