LEXINGTON — The Lexington Moose Lodge 2511 presented Love Our Hero’s Inc. a check for $3,697.48 on Friday, a donation generated by the organization’s annual golf fundraiser.
There were 17 teams participating in the outing, planned and coordinated by Bob Mahan, Deb Stevenson, Mike Laliberte, Tom Magistro, and Mindy Dumbeck.
Chris Davis and Scott Gossett provided the meal back at the lodge after the outing.
