The Santa Monica Elks recently hosted a dinner for 140 local and homeless veterans. The vets were treated to a chicken dinner, toiletry kits and a new jacket. The Elks had musical entertainment and a special guest speaker from the University of Southern California, Mr. Lightfoot who talked about job opportunities for veterans. The lodge was helped by 17 Girl Scouts from four local troops to serve dinner.
