Working with an Elks Anniversary grant, Alamosa Elks Lodge 1297 provided warm coats, backpacks and other necessities to some 15 children who are considered homeless in unusual living situations and whose parents had submitted lists of needs as winter approaches. Shown with the gift bags are Deanna Wagner, who spearheaded the project, Exalted Ruler Ken Wagner, helper Linda Ortega and Chaplain/Club Manager Joe Ortega. The event lasted from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21.
