The Cranberry Elks will be sponsoring a Veterans Benefits Workshop from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 6 at the lodge, 20720 Route 19. All veterans are invited to attend this free workshop, during which assistance in registering for Veterans Administration Benefits will be provided from local veterans’ organizations.

Lodge members provide ongoing assistance throughout the year to the veterans cared for by the Butler VA Hospital through serving lunch, hosting picnics, transporting veterans to medical appointments, and providing needed essentials through the holiday Adopt-A-Vet program. In addition, a haircut fund was established at the lodge to support the volunteers who donate their time and talent taking care of this essential need for the hospitalized veterans.
