FULLERTON...Fullerton Elks Lodge recently participated in a LOT 318 Community Event in Placentia, California.  Several National and State Elks program materials were made available to attendees, to include drug awareness, scholarships, grants, veterans, and special needs children. 

 

 

LOT 318 exists to walk alongside at-risk youth and their community by empowering them to see their worth and purpose in this world. This is accomplished by holding various events and service opportunities. Youth are challenged to serve others in the community and make a difference among their peers.

The organization believes in the importance of education and teaching self-value. Their goal is to give youth opportunities they may never have had, and to help them become a positive influence and force in our world.

LOT318 has over 5 programs and over 45 active students who, with their families, are striving for a brighter future! The children are no longer asking themselves “What gang am I going to join?” but instead are asking “What college am I going to attend? What career can I go into?”

Parents and community members can see positive change happening!  Approximately 6 Lodge members volunteered at this event.  We had at least 100 attendees visit the Elks booth.  The Lodge also donated $500 to support the organization.  Photos:FullertonElks
