Teri Linardich, Virginia Beach Elks Lodge # 2268, Virginia Beach, VA
For the last three years we have been participating in the Guys Read Program at Bayside Elementary School in Virginia Beach. Our lodge members volunteer to read to children and we also participate in related events. The kids love us when we show up with the dictionaries. We enjoy the positive response from teachers and students.
