Roll Call | October 11–24, 2026

Our first-ever Lodge Car Show brought members together, raised more than $1,500 for the Lodge and gave us valuable lessons for future events. Exalted Ruler Robert Michaelson shares heartfelt thanks to the volunteers, sponsors and vendors who made it possible.

He also celebrates our new Lodge website and highlights the Elks Rally in Hemet, supporting the Purple Pig and the California-Hawaii Elks Major Project. Discover the people and community spirit behind these stories in his full Roll Call.

California-Hawaii Elks Major Project Purple Pig

The Purple Pig

California-Hawaii Elks Major Project, Inc.

Helping children Walk, Talk, See & Play.

Our California-Hawaii Major Project

A little Purple Pig can make a very big difference.

The Purple Pig is the fundraising arm of the California-Hawaii Elks Major Project, Inc. (CHEMPI). This is a California-Hawaii Elks program serving children with disabilities throughout California and Hawaii.

CHEMPI has served children since 1950 and funds professional services including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology and pediatric vision screening. Services are provided to qualifying children at no cost to their families.

Those Purple Pig banks represent something powerful: Elks pooling small gifts, Lodge fundraising and larger contributions so children can receive services that help them become more independent.
