Head Elks gathered in Santa Monica last week to give praise. The Santa Monica Emblem Club hosted state president Phyllis Langlois and many of her officers last Wednesday. There were 90 people present from Santa Monica, the district and Southern California.

Ray Beers, exalted ruler of the Santa Monica Elks, gave an official welcome to the state officers and thanked them for their strong support of Elks lodges throughout the state. Although the Emblem Club is totally independent of the Elks, many of the Elk spouses and some of the Elks are Emblem members. Beers especially thanked president Ken Miller for all of the local support, supplying both dollars and man power.

Beverly Randall, chairman and toastmaster for the event, thanked all of the members and officers for their strong support.

Miller gave a community service report detailing the projects and events in the first six months of this year. CRAAP endorses Assembly candidate
