On Sept. 17, Sanford Lodge again hosted veterans from the Lake Baldwin VA Domiciliary in Orlando, Florida, for their monthly game day. In addition to bingo and full-service meal, this month, the veterans enjoyed a few hours of fishing. Soon-to-be-member Christine Dathe also personally donated shaving kits, complete with shaving cream and razor, to the veterans. Monthly game days are funded using the $3,000 Freedom Grant from the Elks National Veterans Service Commission.

Pictured are two veterans fishing, Christine Dathe passing out shaving kits to veterans, and veterans holding up their winnings, which were coupon booklets they can use in their general store.
