893

As they have done for more than 90 years, Lake City Elks Lodge #893 assisted the community with Christmas events. On Dec. 23, more than 50 volunteers delivered 70 turkeys and food baskets to community members. The lodge used $2,000 from its Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant to purchase the nonperishable items. Pictured are members Kris Robertson; Paul Lippi Sr., Paul Lippi Jr., Kim Evans and Julie Schwarz. The 42 extra turkeys were donated to Lad’s Soup Kitchen in Lake City. On Dec. 24, the lodge hosted its annual Christmas extravaganza for 216 children, who were invited to choose some toys to take home. Santa arrived on the city’s antique firetruck.
