On Friday we presented a donation of personal hygiene items to the CADV (Citizens Against Domestic Violence) in Camdenton. Representative Nicole Benne, a representative from DADV received the donation equivalent of $2,000. The boxes in back of the folks in the picture were filled with everything from paper towels to shampoo, body soaps and many other personal hygiene items. The Spotlight Grant came through qualifying from the Elk Grand Lodge. This is a perfect example of where money made from all the functions we hold here in our Lodge goes to.
