When you are out shopping, don’t forget our Veterans.
Please pick up a few items for the Veterans residing at the Yountville Veterans Home. Together we Elks can help improve their quality of life. The District’s Veterans Service Chairperson has provided the following wish list. The items are helpful to the hospital patients, those in the Veterans home and the Memory Care Center just to name a few. Drop items off at the Petaluma Lodge in the Veteran’s Basket. We will get the items (and paperwork) to the District Chairperson who will then deliver to his proper contacts at the home to ensure items get to the intended Veterans.
