Letter to the Editor: LAS Creede Sewing Sisters appreciate Elks Lodge donation

Editor,

The LAS Creede Sewing Sisters would like to thank the Elks National Foundation and the Creede Elks Lodge No. 506 for allowing us to receive $700 of the $2,500 Gratitude Grant.

We made bags for the foster children out of bright and colorful fabric. With the money from the grant, we were able to purchase hygiene items for ages newborn to teenagers.

When the children are placed in a foster home, each child has their own items according to their age.

We appreciate both the Elks National Foundation and the Creede Elks Lodge No. 506, and we feel the grant money helps to make a difference in a child’s life.
