ORANGE...December is a very busy month. The lodge welcomes new members each month. The new members help our programs succeed.

 

On the December calendar, we will support our Community, our Veterans, our Youth and help our Community Partners.

Our Orange Elks Little Free Library is open for use by everyone. Please take a moment to look at the books, borrow a book or donate a book. All ages welcome.

 

The Elks Christmas Basket project supports 200 low-income families with food, toys, pet food and a gift card. The goal, as in past years, is to hand out 200 Christmas Baskets (boxes) to families in need with young children. We hope the Christmas Baskets will help make Christmas a little more magical.

This is the sixth year the lodge has partnered in the Wreaths Across America Program. The program aims to place a wreath on a veteran’s grave at the Fairhaven cemetery.

 

We will be hosting the Kid’s Christmas party, with lunch, crafts, cookie decorating games and receiving a gift from Santa & Mrs. Claus

Collecting personal care items for Joanie’s Purse Project. The Emblem Club is collecting gently used purses or handbags for personal care items such as lip gloss, combs, hand sanitizer, etc.
