In the last initiation of 2022, The Saddleback Valley-Mission Viejo Elks Lodge #2444 proudly presents its newest members. The Initiation Ceremony is steeped in history as it’s much the same as the Charter Organization has used since 1868. The members-only ritual pays homage to the Elk’s four cardinal principles of Charity, Brotherly Love, Justice and Fidelity.
The Elks welcome the latest 24 members and look forward to the wonderful contributions they will make to the Lodge and the entire community.
