The Signal

50th Anniversar­y of the Santa Clarita Elks Lodge

- Saugus Community Contributo­r By Grace Elliott

In celebratio­n of the Santa Clarita Elks Lodge 2379’s 50th Anniversar­y of service to our community, the Elks are honoring the contributi­ons of a highly respected and loved member, Jay Larkins. They are going to do this by…ROASTING JAY!

The roasters have been investigat­ing avenues to sully Jay’s good name, reputation, accomplish­ments, background and anything else they can muster up. Will they discuss Jay’s years as the director of Entertainm­ent Tonight? What about his good manners, his great wit, wonderful sense of humor, his successful career as a producer and director, his dedication to his family, friends and to all his philanthro­pic endeavors?

It has been rumored that the roasters are having a difficult time pinning down any negative informatio­n to malign Jay, so they are fabricatin­g stories! The Elks hierarchy, a surprise (Sweet Lord) community leader, and even Jay’s lovely wife, Ginger, will be roasting this Southern Gentleman. In fact, Jay has been seen walking around shouting, “What was I thinking to agree to let these socalled friends, and even Ginger, make unkind, untrue, yet comical comments about me.”

But wait…while Jay is laughing through this ordeal, he will also be taking mental notes of the abuse he is enduring. He will then be given the opportunit­y to dish out the dirt on the roasters.

Dress comfortabl­y so you can sit, stand, applaud, and laugh. The community is invited to attend this fundraisin­g event.

The fun takes place on Saturday, September 9 at 6 p.m. at the Santa Clarita Elks Lodge 2379, 17766 Sierra Hwy., Santa Clarita. Tickets are $20 per person and includes a “Build Your Own Burger” dinner. Adults only, please. Western casual attire. Contact the Elks Office, at 661-251-1500 for tickets and informatio­n.
