On Thursday, December 18th, ER Phil Nuffer, PER/Lodge Secretary Dennis Brady and PSP Tim Kelly went to CAPC on Davidson Street in Watertown to present a check of $2,000 for the Warm Hands
Warm Feet project to Craig Cashman, Chief Executive Officer for CAPC. After collaborative effort between Lodge Secretary and Caroline Feasler (Family Center Director for CAPC), the CAPC purchased mittens and boots for children of financially strapped families. The $2,000 donation was made possible by many caring and giving members of Lodge #496, fulfilling our motto, “Elks Care, Elks Share”. Thank you to all the members that contributed to the Holiday Appeal (Harvest Dinner for Area Senior Citizens and Warm Hands, Warm Feet).

On Thursday morning, December 18, 2025, Watertown Lodge's Veterans Committee chairman PER Ed Massa made a delivery of 150 bags of sugar and 150 bags of flour to the Watertown's Feed Our Vets center on 1291 Faichney Dr, Watertown, NY. ->

This donation was made possible by our deceased member Vietnam War veteran Bill Lewis' wife and daughter. The Lewis Family raised $4,100 from the first annual Bill Lewis Memorial Father's Day golf tournament held back in June at Willowbrook Golf Club in Watertown, a place Bill Lewis dedicated his time and sweat working there. ->

Their fundraising purpose was to help feed our local veterans in the Watertown area. Watertown Elks continue to fulfill the Elks Veteran's Motto, "So long as there are Veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them".
