Elks donation

Elks National President Robert Duitsman joined the Santa Monica Elks to deliver lunch for the Veterans at the WLA hospital building 209 which permanently houses formerly homeless veterans on the campus. Many thanks to Girl Scout Troop 16135 for their very generous donation of 54 boxes of cookies, Girl Scout Troop 415 donated homemade desserts, and Girl Scout Troop 95505 wrote individual notes of inspiration for each veteran during this epidemic. Every veteran received a meatloaf meal and their own box of cookies.
