Elks VA Bingo special lap blanket gifts.

The Salisbury Elks have been holding a a monthly bingo for many years for the Veterans's at the Salisbury NC Veteran's Hospital.

On this special occasion, 8 lap blankets were given away as door prizes. These blankets were hand crafted by allie Holshouser and her sister. Allie is Tiler of our Lodge by the way. As you can see these blankets were emblased with specific armed services logos.

Needless to say, the lucky winners were highly appreciative of these one of kind blankets. A tip of the antlers to Allie and her sister for these amazing gifts.

Other Elks Lodges in the area also engage in monthly activities at the Salisbury VA.
