In the last two years the Orange Elks have partnered with the Down Syndrome Association of OC (DSA/OC). We have sponsored a fishing trip and participated in their Buddy Walk. This year chairmen Mike Cash and his committee planned for a picnic in the park. The DSA/OC and the Orange Elks went to Irvine Regional Park. The generosity of the lodge members and a Beacon Grant from the Elks National Foundation set the stage for a great picnic! Mike

The Orange Elks are very generous in giving their “Time, Treasure, Teamwork and Talents” to put on events like this and it was very evident today. Over 300 people attended the event that included the kids and their family members. 60 Elks and family members helped in the event. The Volunteers who made it happen!
