North Central Missouri Children's Advocacy Center

Lady Elks from Trenton Lodge #801 presented a $200 donation to the Children's Advocacy Center during a presentation given to their group Friday, February 22, 2019, at the Royal Inn Pizza Restaurant.  The funds were the result of auctioning off a wreath at their Christmas gathering.  Other items donated included comfort items (stuffed animals and cozy blankets) for after the forensic interview, crayons and coloring books that can be used during the forensic interview, pencils and notebooks for journaling for older children, and copy paper for in-house work.  These lovely ladies were a great audience.
