On Monday, Cape Coral Elks 2596 teamed up with Cape Coral Moose Lodge 2395 to present 80 LeeTran bus passes to the Department of Veterans Affairs Lee County Healthcare Center in Cape Coral. The passes will be used by local veterans who need transportation to and from the health center and other appointments in the area. The Elks and the Moose Lodge each raised $500 to cover the cost of the bus passes. Presenting the bus passes at the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System in the Cape were Elks Loyal Knight John Nugent, far left, and Moose District 23 President James Fraser, far right. Accepting the passes from the facility were, from left, Justina Wells, assistant director; Eliud Pico Torres, voluntary services specialist; and Shasta Dorisca, chief of social work southern clinics.
