Every Tuesday the Alexander City Elks Lodge hosts a get-together at Bill Nichols State Veterans Home, about $275 a week for ice cream, popcorn and bingo.
Now that there's a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, they've been able to reprise one of their other activities — a fishing excursion hosted by Hardy Farms in Coosa County.
