"The Elks are committed to their mission, 'So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them,'" a news release said. "Elks support veterans in many ways, such as the Adopt-a-Vet Program, providing handicraft kits to veterans, furnishing deer hide gloves to veterans in wheelchairs, hosting pontoon boat rides and picnic lunches to veterans from the rehabilitation center, and providing other services to our nation's veterans, with a special focus on service to those in need." The Elks' annual free spaghetti dinner, another event to honor veterans, will begin at 5:30 p.m. Friday at the lodge, 132 Abbott Place.
