The elks are looking for their officer of the year. The Santa Monica Elks will be hosting officers from the Santa Monica Police Department, the FBI, VA Hospital Security and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department on Jan. 20 at the Santa Monica Elks Lodge, 1040 Pico Blvd. The meeting, which is open to the public, starts at 7:30 p.m.

An officer from each group has been nominated for “Officer of the Year.” Each nominee will receive a plaque from the Elks and a scroll or certificate from the appropriate political entity. Last year, they hosted 37 officers for dinner.

The chair officers will select one “Officer of the Year,” whose name will go on a permanent plaque.

For more information, call Curt Curtiss (310) 645-8989\. Dinner costs $10 and starts at 6:30 p.m. Call (310) 452-3557 for reservations. Voting registration ends soon, but there’s still time
