The generosity of the Elks is amazing and to have a couple like Ronald “Ron” Jungels and Matilde Vargas Jungels join the BLT Family by becoming Commitment Trust members is outstanding! If everyone cared as much for the children with disabilities as Ron and Matilde, the future of the Major Project would never be in doubt. Ron and Matilde: you emphasize the Elks’ motto, “Elks Care-Elks Share.â€Â Thank you for caring about the future of the Major Project.  Also, congratulations to Steve Mayne, the West Central District BLT Chairman, for all his hard work in helping Ron and Matilde join the BLT Family.
Ron has been a member of the San Jose Lodge No. 522 for fourteen years, and West Central District Scouting Chairman for eight years, San Jose Lodge Boy Scout Chairman for fourteen years and he is also active in the Youth Programs such as Soccer and Hoop Shoot. Ron is also the auctioneer for lodge activities. Matilde and Ron work side by side making sure the youth of San Jose have an opportunity to participate in all Elks’ Youth Programs. They keep the lodge youth activities program going. Thank you for caring from all the therapists and the children with disabilities.

Porterville Lodge #1342 held their annual Piggybank night on February 8, 2008. They raised funds to assist children with disabilities and help the Major Project be able to fund the therapists needed to serve the Association. A caring couple, Ken and Laurie Hampton, have served the Porterville Elks Lodge #1342 and Emblem Club #82 for many years. They became a member of the BLT family of giving and caring people by establishing a charitable Commitment Trust which will help fund the future of the Major Project. As the BLT Vice Chairman North, it was my privilege to present a plaque honoring our friends Ken and Laurie Hampton for this very generous gift.
Ken Hampton is a Past Exalted Ruler of the Porterville Lodge #1342, he is the East Central District Americanism Chairman, Vice President of the East Central District PER Association and a member of the Porterville Emblem Club #82. Ken and Laurie Hampton, the Porterville Lodge salutes you and your gracious gift.
