Carson City Elks Lodge provides goodie bags to VA hospital patients
Carson City Elks No. 2177 members gathered at the Lodge and assembled 50 goodie bags to be delivered to the VA Hospital in Reno.
The goodie bags were filled with socks, beanies, coloring books, Sudoku books, crossword puzzle books, pencils, color crayons, pencil sharpeners, toothpaste and toothbrushes.
Marcie Deerfield led the event by purchasing the majority of the items that were placed in the bags. Funds were provided by the Elks Beacon Grant.
Members who assisted were Martha Reynolds, Frank and Marian Furnari, Pat Fox, Sharon and Wayne Willson. On Dec. 18, the bags were delivered to the VA hospital patients in Reno.
