Four Elks Lodges from the Orange Coast District helped to put some Christmas Cheer into the hearts and minds of medically recovering veterans at the Long Beach Veterans Hospital.
Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, Newport Harbor and Fullerton Elks Lodges joined forces with Santa Claus to bring Holiday Smiles to all.

“It’s always a great event that is appreciated by those who might otherwise have an uneventful Holiday Season” said Dennis Lumley, Mission Viejo’s Veterans Committee Chairman.
He went on to say “It’s even better when we are able to bring the help we had from four district lodges” The veterans were served Pizza, Cookies, Lemonade and soft drinks and were provided with several gifts including clothes, toiletry items, books and other goodies.
Representing the Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Lodge were Chairman Dennis Lumley and members Sandie McClure, Frank Scarpini, Paul Miller, Kathy Andrews, David Perry, and Lloyd Bryan.
