On Dec. 14 at the direction of Paul Colicci and his Veterans Committee, Englewood Lodge delivered 167 decorated and filled shoeboxes to the veterans in four area nursing facilities. Members adopted and filled shoeboxes with useful and festive items for the veterans. These boxes were very well received at the nursing homes; for some veterans, this is the only Christmas present they receive.
Pictured at the gift delivery for veterans at Heritage Oaks in Englewood are Jerry Zimbardi, lodge treasurer; Jim Fitzgerald, member; Lisa Young, social director; and Paul Colicci, Veterans Chairman.
