Holley-Navarre Elks Lodge #2787’s Drug Awareness Committee was at the outdoor market at Pik-itz, an art and antique shop of Navarre, Florida, Aug. 20 displaying information and giving brochures about the Elks Drug Awareness program, the Elks National Foundation Most Valued Student Scholarship and Florida Elks Children’s Therapy Services. If a family had children with them, a bag with similar information was provided for parents along with a coloring book, crayons, pencil and drug-free Red Ribbon for each child. What makes a weekend like this special is knowing that drug use touches almost everyone’s life or family, and lodge members provided a listening presence to hear their stories. The lodge is grateful to Terry Light, owner of Pik-itz, who provided the space for them to set up a canopy and provide information to the community.
