Ohio Elks Bring Music To Veteran's Ears, Smiles to Their Faces

The Ohio Elks treated our Veterans at the Ohio Veterans Home (OVH) Secrist Hall with a wide variety of music and songs provided by talented Barefoot Jake McCoy.

We first met Jake at Newark Lodge a few years ago. Restrictions due to Covid we had to wait 3 long years before approval was granted to have entertainment into our Veteran facility. The entire 1 ½ hours was sing along, hand clapping, toe stomping, laughing time.

Ice cream floats were served to all.

August 4th was also the 232nd birthday of the United States Coast Guard. Two residents in house served our country. Unfortunately they were not able to join us to celebrate. Coast Guard caps and Elk best wishes were delivered to them by Tracy Activity Director.
