On Saturday night October 22, 2022 the Legendary Elks Lodge #6 located at Hensley Street, San Diego, CA 92102 was jumping off the hook. Shirley Smith, a daughter of the Elks Nautilus Temple #436 for 13 years, celebrated her 71st birthday with a blast. A good time was had, with lots of fun and celebration with a host of family and friends who joined together in laughter and dancing to the funky soul sounds of DJ Mack.
What a night. Great soul food. Big fun. Great memories. The legendary Elks Lodge was for many years the place to go, hosting industry greats from B.B. King to Bobby Blue Bland and many many others who came through to share their musical gifts with the San Diego community.
Thank You, Shirley, for the beautiful smiles you shared with all of us. And also, a thanks to you and your husband, Mr. Willie Smith, for being a great management dream team at the legendary Elks Logde #6 for over a decade. Salute!!!
