On Dec. 14, Sebring Elks Lodge #1529 invited veterans from local nursing homes The Palms and St. Camillus Post-Acute and Rehabilitation Center and veteran members to the lodge for a Christmas luncheon. The kitchen staff provided a traditional meal with turkey and side dishes as well as dessert. Patrick Sullivan dressed as Santa talked to veterans and gave out gifts, and Brenda Richards and Gwen Clark were the hostesses. Buddy Richards provided the music, designating all the military branches. Including family, friends, veterans and their caregivers, there were 21 guests in attendance.
