ORANGE ROAMIN´ ELKS
---------
The Orange Roamin´ Elks is a Lodge Camper Club that was established on July 6,1984. To be a member of the Orange Roamin´ Elks you must be a member of a Southern California Elks Lodge. We have one camp out a month on the 3rd weekend of the month and travel up to 100 miles. Anyone may attend one camp out as a non-member (to check us out) before joining the club. Our annual dues are $15.00, payable by March 1st of each year. Meetings are held on the first Friday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Lodge, unless otherwise specified. All guests are Welcome!!

We have one fund raiser a year which is our Chili Cook-Off. This has always been a big event at the Lodge and we get a lot of entries. Last year we had approximately 110 people attend our Chili Cook-Off and out of this 110 people there were (8) hot entries and ten (10) mild entries. Last year we made a net profit of $1,010.73 and donated all the money to "House of Hope" (a home for abused women and children) and "Meals on Wheels".

If you like to camp and have camaraderie with other Elks and campers, come join us once a month for a fun time and adventure. If you are interested in joining us contact one of our officers. They are President Ron Sabo, Secretary Carolyn Pierce and Wagon Master, Pam Jung. Their numbers are available at the Lodge.

Orange Peal Article February 2012
A month late, but many thanks to the Slater's who hosted the Christmas Party for the camper club. The house has a backyard that looks like a park and Isabel and Rick are so generous. Thank you. We collected money and canned goods to give to the needy in the City of Orange. Way to go campers!

February will find our group in the Temecula Wine Country where the temperature is sometimes on the colder side. Last year we had a campfire that burned about 15 hours a day. Burr! We have a heated clubroom to go to, so it makes for a super outing. Makes it really nice for an excuse to cuddle in public!

The lodge year will soon come to an end and the camper club changes its officers about the same time period. We have talked about adding some committee chairmen this year to help with the club activities. Plan to come to the meeting and volunteer to do some of the planning for the upcoming year. The more the merrier and so many of you have talents to share. Be the Christmas Party Chairman, plan an extra campout, sickness and distress needs someone to chair the position, write the monthly bulletin and so on. We will have nominations for the three officers, but the committee chairman will be volunteers. Nominations are coming this month. Step up and give a hand. You will be glad you did.

Happy Trails,
Pam Jung, Wagonmaster
