Members of Barre Elks Lodge presented eleven Veteran residents of Rowan Court Nursing Home with paintings from their Painting for Patriots event held in the spring. Over forty guests painted an original painting created by Sue Brassard of A Taste of Art. Some guests chose to donate their paintings to Veteran residents of area nursing homes. Others purchased their paintings with proceeds benefiting the Veterans programs at Barre Elks Lodge. If you know of a Veteran who would enjoy an original painting, please call Exalted Ruler Kristin Calcagni at 522-7675.
