Vietnam Veterans of America Fundraising Program in honor of Michael F. Manning -"Can-Coin Program" Each Lodge will receive 32 canisters, along with a set of instructions and forms for documenting the collection of funds. We are asking each Lodge to find a few dedicated Elks to work this program, which will last only until July 31 of 2009.
