Ladies of Elks send hundreds of cookies to troops The Ladies of Elks’ Touch of Home Committee of the Florence Lodge #1858 sent 13 boxes, equalling 514 dozen cookies, to troops in Afghanistan in April. Of those, 105 dozen were made by LOE member Shirley Stapleton. They also packaged up snack size baggies of trail mix, nuts, licorice and other con- sumables that can be tucked into the pockets of the sol- dier’s cargo pants so they can have nutritional snacks while out on patrol. It is costly to send these packages, and the LOE acknowledged the following people who shared in that expense: Florence veterans group known as the Band of Brothers; Elk members Bill and Karen Smales; and LEO member Mary Simpson, and her husband, past Exalted Ruler Dennis Simpson.
