The Ladies Decided To Try The Elks On September 7th, 2013
Lisa (our niece) and her friend Fiona decided to take us up on our invite to visit the Garden Grove Elks... We must say they were an absolute delight! Can you imagine two eighteen year olds being plopped down at at table of twelve old folks... Three of which were four times their age! These ladies were wonderful and brightened up the entire table!

Did You Know? - The conga line is a Cuban carnival march that was first developed in Cuba and became popular in the United States in the 1930s and 1950s. The dancers form a long, processing line. It has three shuffle steps on the beat, followed by a kick that is slightly ahead of the fourth beat.
Hang on Fiona... Leon gets wild
We went around and around... Donna was in the lead
