SPRINGFIELD ELKS LODGE #1560 NEWS
Recently, Springfield Elks Lodge #1560 presented Director Lori Johnson of the Springfield Senior Center with a $1000 award from an Elks National Foundtion Gratitude Grant.
Ms’ Johnson had a need for lighter folding rectangular plastic folding tables for the center. Also she said they have a need for new Alera Reception-Style Stacking Chairs. Their total expense needed came to $1862.69 and the Elks Grant will go towards these expenses. The tables they have at present are very heavy to move around.
Anyone wishing to help with her project is welcome to donate. Send donation to Office of the Director 19 Main Street, Springfield, Vt 05156
