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 August 2010

We camped at the home of the rich and famous during the month of June. Newport Dunes is home to the giant rigs and the tent campers. We are somewhere in between and lovin' it! Fifteen rigs enjoyed the weekend, with many of us staying extra days. The weather was sunny and warm and the trails around the grounds are beautiful. Many campers enjoyed having their families join us for BBQ's and the beach. We missed having Tom and Judy Van with us, as Tom was under the weather and couldn't make it.

Sherri Bradley out did herself again. The Bradley's were the camp hosts for the weekend and she cooked spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread for us all. The "dunes" furnished a room for us and we ate until we hurt. Ron Sabo's children arrived with a giant cake for his birthday and we celebrated. Since he is President we thought of singing "hail to the chief", but couldn't find a band. Emma Jung had her first birthday and the dogs had a small party! Singing happy birthday was a scene we will all remember!

Since so many campers hit the road during July, we will not have a campout. We will camp at Guajome Regional Park in August. It is another favorite and has a woodsy atmosphere. September takes us to Mission Bay.

Our best to Sharon Sabo for a speedy recovery from ankle surgery. Our next camper meeting is August 6th in the lodge room. See you soon!

Pam Jung, Wagonmaster
