Thanks to the Elks Plant City for making it possible to procure a driveway that is safe for our veterans. For many years, the veterans at Liberty Manor have experienced difficulty with a broken terrain for a driveway. Many disabled veterans have fallen – this posed a realistic liability for the veterans who reside at Liberty Manor.
This driveway renovation was spearheaded by Elks member Judy Wise, who serves on the Veterans Committee at Plant City Elks Lodge #1727. It also required the effort of Elk member JD Martin, who procured the pavers for this project which was supplied by Castle Coastal in Tampa, Florida. Featured in the picture on the left representing Castle Coastal is George Marquis and David Lindsay, VP of Liberty Manor for Veterans.
