We asked Convention attendees to bring a pack of new socks for veterans in need or a new or gently used children’s book to promote literacy. Lodges were entered into a raffle to double the value of its Spotlight Grant to $4,000.

We ended up with more than 900 entries by Elks and guests who donated thousands of new socks for veterans and hundreds of books for children in the area.

We announced the winners live on YouTube on the Midday Minute.

The winners of the Spotlight Grant Drive Raffle are:

• Boulder, Colo., Lodge No. 566
• Brunswick, Ga., Lodge No. 691
• Bloomington, Ill., Lodge No. 281
• Casa Grande Valley, Ariz., Lodge No. 1957
• Walla Walla, Wash., Lodge No. 287
