"I recently joined the elks in siebring because that’s where my sponsor was but decided to try & transfer to the lakeland location since it was closer. I went twice & I must say I never felt more like an outsider as I did in this lodge. I’m a widow & was trying to get out & meet people but only a couple of people acknowledged me, after that I was ignored pretty much. Guess I will try the VFW"
