Elks donate chair lift to Taunton veteran

Jul 11, 2016

The Wareham-New Bedford Lodge of Elks No. 73 has given a helping hand to a disabled veteran by donating a chair lift that was installed in his Taunton home.

Lodge member Ray Cash donated the chair, and Elks Perry Gerlach, Craig Shurtleff and Ted Hatch arranged to have it delivered. It was donated last month as part of the lodge’s ongoing “Elks Care, Elks Share” initiative.

The chair went to Hank Snow, who spent six years in the United States Army in the 1960s. He was honorably discharged and received the Bronze Star Award.
