Elks collect, donate clothes
Marquette Elks Lodge 405 collected more than $600 in clothing to donate to local schools clothes closets. All area schools maintain a supply of clothing for children in need and the Lodge acts as a conduit to supply schools with items of critical need. Donations for the purchase of the clothes shown here were made possible by individual lodge members, the Lodge Cribbage League and Meijer stores. Pictured here with some of the boxes ready to deliver to the schools are, from the left: Pam Laurich, Exalted Ruler; Roger Laitinen, Loyal Knight; Dick Hanrahan, Chaplain; Marquita Wright; Cindy Laitinen, Tiler; and Bob Wellman, Trustee and Chairman.
