FULLERTON...This May, twelve Lodge Elks volunteered to serve a warm meal and mingle with veterans at the Placentia Veterans Village apartment complex which provides permanent supportive housing for homeless or disabled military veterans in Orange County.  This complex was developed through a public-private partnership and offers one and two bedroom apartment homes, as well as on-site supportive services.  

A lunch was served that included ham, rotisserie chicken, corn, salad and rolls.  A desert of root beer floats was the highlight of the afternoon!  A cash prize was offered through a drawing, due to the generosity of one of the members, and craft kits that included wallets, pouches and dream catchers were provided to all.    A total of twenty-eight veterans attended.  We thank our veterans for their service and sacrifice.
