The question is, how can tottering folks from the “Shady Acres Retirement Home,” attempting to do precision drill-team formations complete with walkers, crutches and canes, help developmentally challenged kids who vitally need therapy services throughout Florida?
That’s an easy one if you’re a member of the Elks organization. The old folks stumbling hilariously about the stage actually will be members of Punta Gorda Elks Lodge 2606, who will be performing in the lodge’s annual “Memories and Dreams” musical variety show next month to raise funds for the Florida Elks Children’s Therapy Services.
