On July 26, 10 volunteers from Port St. Lucie Elks Lodge #2658 held a back-to-school barbecue at the St. Lucie County Boys and Girls Club. They passed out 110 new backpacks filled with new school supplies to all the children. They then barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs and served them with potato chips and drinks. One of the volunteers also made homemade ice cream. The children were excited for the backpacks but mostly for the ice cream!
