On Aug. 19, Destin Elks Lodge #2688 utilized $500 of its Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant to purchase 31 sets of headphones for Destin Elementary School. Between Destin Lodge and American Legion Post 296 Destin Auxiliary, the school received more than 100 sets of headphones and a large supply of pencils. This was a joint project by both charitable organizations serving the Destin community. The school staff and teachers were thrilled and very thankful for the gift.
