ORANGE...What do you do with a worn or tattered American Flags.
At the Orange Elks Lodge you organized an American Flag Folding Party. The party is to properly retire worn or tattered flags. These flags are collected during the year in a flag donation box at the lodge.
Over two hundred and fifty flags were folded and will be given to the Orange Coast District for Flag Disposal Ceremony. 

Threw out the year, the Orange Elks, its members and friends fly the American Flag. It could be at the Flags over Orange, the Flags over the Plaza, the “Roamin” Elks campouts and at the Elks and Antlers meetings.
