Elvis Slaughter has a special appreciation for LARC, especially because they have an annual fundraiser that includes an Elvis impersonator (though he impersonates the other Elvis). "I have attended the Elvis fundraiser the last two years with family members," said Slaughter, "and we really enjoyed the shows." To bring some fun attention to the upcoming event, Elvis and The Lansing Journal journeyed to Graceland.

Elvis Slaughter has a special appreciation for LARC, especially because they have an annual fundraiser that includes an Elvis impersonator (though he impersonates the other Elvis). “I have attended the Elvis fundraiser the last two years with family members,” said Slaughter, “and we really enjoyed the shows.” To bring some fun attention to the upcoming event, Elvis and The Lansing Journal journeyed to Graceland.
