Rancho Santa Margarita residents Mike Gracey, and Joni Roman were also initiated, and from Lake forest Antonio Patricio, and Daryl Tibbls. Also becoming new Elks were Katherine Cook from Dove Canyon and John Jackson from Ladera Ranch, and Michael King from Nicholasville KY.
Several of the new members began their adventure into Elkdom by volunteering to take part in the visit to the Orange County Rescue Mission where the Elks will stage a carnival for the residents of that facility for the homeless. They will join the other thirty-two (32) Elks in manning the game booths, preparing food, and providing an afternoon of fun, food, gifts and prizes for the appreciative women and children who call the Mission home.
