Due to the cancellation of baseball’s spring training, the Lakewood Ranch-Sarasota Lodge’s Veterans Committee was unable to take 32 veterans to a game March 22. The committee was going to use the Elks National Foundation Freedom Grant for this activity. The Elks National Foundation gave them an extension of one month but also encouraged them to make a donation to a worthy veteran’ cause. Upon getting the grant money back, they made a $2,000 donation to Southeastern Guide Dogs.
