SOUTH AMBOY – South Amboy Elks Lodge No. 784 arranged for 20 veterans and six staff members from the New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home in Menlo Park to attend a Valentine’s Day Luncheon.
On Feb. 6, members from American Legion Post No. 62 who are also members of the Elks read the “MIA/POW Table Setting,” which was set up in the dining room for all to see.
When the veterans were ready to return to their home, each one was presented with a gift bag and a monetary donation along with other goodies.
The lodge was able to raise more than $2,900 from businesses and member donations to support its Veterans Committee.
Lodge members also attended the veterans’ bingo that is held once each month at the Menlo Park home.
