We are getting Birthday Cards!
A little while back we were approached by a Girl Scout Troop that is sponsored by the Santa Monica Elks Lodge. As you probably know Scouts need to develop activities to support their community. This Troop offered to produce Birthday Cards for our members and we mail them out. Some of you have already received them, including my wife Day!

From Veteran's Chair Louie Santiesteban:
On Dec. 20th Roy Chamberlin contacted me and told me that the Culver Classic Cleaners on 5409 Sepulveda Blvd. was closing the business and had some unclaimed clothes that he wanted to donate to the homeless veterans. So Roy and I went to the cleaners and loaded my truck with the clothes. We called the WLA VA and the US Vets to see if they wanted the clothes. We got called by the US Vets saying they would take them. The clothes are cleaned, pressed, and wrapped in plastic. On Jan. 3rd 2023 Sam Arrieta, David Echavarria and myself delivered the clothes. There was at least 300 items of clothing with dress shirts, dress pants, suits, fancy womens dresses, and coats. The clothing that we donated clearly was over $7,500. worth. Thank you, Sam, Roy, David and Louie.
From Leading Knight Rocky Yeh:

From Lecturing Knight Samantha Arrieta:
The Children's Christmas Party was a great success. We had a record number of 137 kids and their parents attend the party. A great time was had by all!! We served pizza, sandwiches and snacks.
The party would not go on if not for the dedication, commitment and teamwork of those who volunteered. I appreciate everything you've done!
