Massapequa Elks Receive a Spotlight Grant

The Massapequa Elks Lodge #2162 utilized the $2,000 Spotlight Grant to donate 400 pair of insulated winter gloves and 800 pair of Hot Hands Warmers to the Veterans participating in the November 26, 2024 Stand Down at the Freeport Armory in Freeport, New York. The gloves were individually packaged and labels were placed on each package with a 'Thank You for Your Service' message and the Elks logo and Massapequa Lodge #2162 identifier. Gloves were labeled and packed in boxes by Veterans Chair Fran Ward and Co-Chair Anne Williams (pictured), delivered to Nassau County Veterans Services by Fran Ward and Committee Member Joe Motis (pictured) and distributed with the assistance of Exalted Ruler Tom Harrington (pictured) and Kathy Harrington. Thanks to all the members of Massapequa Lodge #2162 who help make these grants possible with their ENF donations.
