Christmas in July 13
The Orange Elks Lodge # 1475 visits the Long Beach Veterans Hospital several times a year. However in July, the visit is called “Christmas in July”. This year, the lodges from  Newport Harbor, Garden Grove joined the Orange to hold a very special event. This is a special program our lodge does to show our appreciation to the veterans for their part in keeping our country safe. “As long as there is a Vet, the Elks will never forget” Thank you for your service. God Bless you and God Bless America" Twenty seven members from Orange helped entertain 31 veterans.
