Already the fund has collected $3,000, half of which was donated by the bridge club.

Doors for the Gender Illusions show at the Legion will open at 8 p.m. and the parade of famous divas with their slightly altered songs will keep the audience entertained for two hours. Tickets to the event are $20 and all proceeds will go towards the much-needed elevator. “This is a very big undertaking but we are committed,” said Levere, “as we know how it will help veterans enjoy their building.”
