Derby Elks Give $2,000 For ‘Support Our Troops’

On behalf of the Elks National Foundation, Derby Elks Lodge # 571 was the scene recently for a check presentation to the Support Our Troops organization. 

The Support Our Troops organization (a non-profit) provides requested items for our troops overseas. 

Ann Donato, a volunteer for the organization was on hand to receive a check for $2,000 from the Elks National Foundation’s Gratitude Grant Program which will go towards the $2,500 needed for postage for the items being sent to our troops. 

Derby Elk members present at the lodge for the ceremony were front row from left, Frank Marcucio, Peggie Maillet, Treasurer Anita Dugatto presenting the check to Donato, Norma Fitzgerald, Christine Gorlewski and Evelyn Conroy. Back row from left Joseph Doc” Marmora, Paul Bolton, Bud Baxter, Tony Gorlewski and Spencer John Russo.
