The New Era - All about Sweet Home since 1929

Members of the Sweet Home Elks and Elkettes last week donated to the Sweet Home Police Department, above, and to the Sweet Home Fire and Ambulance District, right, for their giving tree programs and Shop With a Cop (page 15), which provide Christmas presents for local children. The donations of more than $1,500 to each agency came from money contributed by local residents who took advantage of the Elks' free Thanksgiving dinner, which the lodge put on in conjunction with The Point restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. The Elks expressed appreciation for efforts by Michael and Mira Hall, owners of The Point, and chefs Keith Groat and Cody Davenport, whose cooking was key to making it all happen.
