Pizzas for first responders
On the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, the Elks and the VFW delivered pizzas to island first responders for lunch, and spent a few minutes expressing appreciation for their public service. It is hoped that this will become an annual event to honor and show respect for the sacrifices that were made on that fateful day, said VFW Commander Tom Ferguson. Special thanks goes to Pine Island Pizza for its generous donation. Greater Pine Island VFW Post 4353 and Elks Lodge 2781 teamed up to bring the community together.
