May Brings Activity to The Ohio Veterans Home

Elks make the month Of May full of beautiful transformation, growth, and remembering.

At our recent State Convention several Lodges brought overwhelming donations of needed new clothing, personal hygiene items, games, etc. for our veterans.

A request came from residents asking for remote control tanks to get into tank competitions. They will form a club called “Guy Stuff”. A donation from Toledo-Sylvania Lodge #53 funded them. Toledo-Sylvania Lodge #53 also supplied flowers, herbs and soil.

Students from Sandusky St. Mary School accompanied by their teacher worked an entire morning to spruce up the gardens of 1 North Patio for the veterans to enjoy. Duties included planting flowers & herbs, pruning shrubs, mowing grass. Everyone had a fun time with our youth.

Five concrete statues each representing the branches of service were donated covering the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. We placed them where everyone can enjoy. The Ohio Veterans Home women are always there to help us with useful suggestions on what the veterans like, need, and enjoy.

 Thanks to all for the continued support of our veterans!
