On May 31, volunteers from Green Cove Springs Lodge supported the summer kickoff program at the Green Cove Springs Library. With the use of the lodge’s Elks National Foundation Beacon Grant, each of the 120 participants received books, ice cream and crafts. The library was decorated with an Oceans of Possibilities theme, and each book was selected to fit the theme.
