Recdently, Karen Whitney Veterans Chairman for the Springfield Elks Lodge presented a $3000 worth of supplies and a check to the Veterans Medical Center in White River Jct., Vt.
This was from a $6000 Beacon/Spotlight Grant given to the Lodge by Elks National Foundation. The purpose of the Grant was to supply the VA with needed materials that the VA Center specified they needed. These Grants are submitted for annually to ENF and fortunately the Springfield Lodge has been the recipient for many years now.
