The Elks motto, “so long as there are veterans, we will never forget them” was evident as Bellefonte Elks Lodge #1094, coordinated by Veterans Committee Chairman Rick Hoffman, assisted by PER Nina King, filled 26 Christmas gift bags for the veterans of Centre Crest, a senior residential housing unit in Bellefonte. Shown is Hoffman as he delivers the bags. Unfortunately this year they could not be delivered to each veteran by an Elks member, and had to be deposited at the front door of the facility. The Elks will never forget what the veterans have unselfishly given of themselves. The bags contained hats, gloves, lap blankets, cards, puzzle books, and much more.
