Dear Members, Friends and Business Associates,
The Winter Garden Elks are now planning their Annual Charity Ball. At this time each year, we hold this event to benefit our two major
state projects, The Florida Elk's Children's Therapy Services and Florida Youth Camp and our local charities. Since 1933, the Elks of
Florida have dedicated themselves to serving children with special needs.
The Florida Elk's Therapy Services provides in-home physical, occupational and speech therapy to the children of Florida. Physical ther-
apy is the profession concerned with the prevention of disability, alleviation of pain and restoration of function and mobility. Occupational
therapy is the profession concerned with assisting these children to be more functional and independent in their play, schoolwork and daily
living skills. Speech therapy is given when a therapist determines that a current patient requires such treatment. Patients are cared for
until goals are met and/or the child's needs are best met in another way. Much time and effort is necessary to make this process a smooth
transition for the child and family.
This rehabilitation is necessary to be rendered in the home because of the absence of services locally or because the patient is medically
infirmed at home. Priority is given to children who do not have access to therapy as a result of financial considerations. The therapists,
which render these services, are employed by the Florida Elks and are licensed to practice in the State of Florida.
Our program now has more than twenty-five vans with therapists traveling many miles in Florida seeing well over 350 children each week
rendering hours of patient therapy.
Our goal is to provide physical, speech and occupational therapy to the
children of Florida who do not have easy access to these services.
All sponsors' names will be published in our monthly newsletter and in an
ad in the West Orange Times following the "Charity Ball".
Our ELKS ANNUAL CHARITY BALL will be held:
Saturday, March 29, 2008, 7:00 pm at the lodge in Winter Garden.
Tickets for the event are only $20.00 per person.
Semi-Formal/Formal attire requested.
Dinner will be served followed by a special awards ceremony.
Entertainment will be provided for your listening and dancing pleasure until 12:00 am.
Any and all contributions are always appreciated and many of you have been loyal and supportive sponsors each year. A "Special Thanks"
goes out to all of you.
Please detach the lower portion of this letter and return it with your contribution to our attention before March 14, 2008 for acknowledge-
ment of you or your business in our special ads.
Sincerely,
Mike & Nancy Jernigan
