ALBION – The Albion Elks Lodge on July 23 had the privilege of hosting and cooking a chicken barbecue picnic for the residents of the Batavia VA Medical Center.
The Elks received a Freedom Grant from the Elks National Foundation to purchase the food to grill up an old-fashioned chicken BBQ picnic with all the fixins’. The Elks grant also provided the funds to provide entertainment at the picnic and hand out games and puzzles designed to help enhance brain activity and maintain memory skills for our vets.
It was the Elks honor to honor the veterans who have put their life on the line so we, as a nation, can remain free.
