At the Tampa Lodge’s March 25 Club Chivalry meeting, Edie Hanley, Loyal Knight, spoke about the Drug Awareness program. When the students were asked if they knew someone who had overdosed, at least 2/3 of them raised their hands. This was a topic they needed to hear more about, and Hanley’s experience working for the sheriff’s department was helpful. She also provided them with a Drug Awareness program bag with some information and a red ribbon. Also at the meeting was Elks National Foundation Legacy Scholar Lucas Dye, as scholars are required to do community service with a lodge at least once a year. He is a sophomore at the University of Tampa. He and PER Shelagh Gombarcik, Bonnie Atwood, Carolyn Miller and Patty Volpe hid 305 Easter eggs outside, though most were in plain sight. Ten golden eggs had a special prize of either a $10 gift card or an extra bag of candy.
