Meet Our New V.P. For the West Central District

Angela Moore Bio

Angela was born in Glasgow, Scotland. She immigrated to the United States in 1976 after her father completed his military career in Scotland. Her family, including her parents, aunts, uncles, and grandmother, lived in Livermore, California. She attended middle school, junior high and high school in Livermore. Angela graduated from high school in 1981 and then moved to Alameda in 1983. She became a U.S. citizen in 1984. Her son Trevor was born in 1984 and is the first-generation Scottish American in the family. Angela started her career as a bartender in 1999. Angela and Trevor followed her parents to Hollister, California where her dad was the General Manager of a bowling alley, and she was the Bar Manager. After working a couple of years at the bowling alley, Angela had the opportunity to work at Hollister Elks Lodge as the Bar Manager. During a Soccer Shoot event one weekend, the Exalted Ruler (ER), Tim Perera, asked her if she would like to become a member and the rest is history! Angela joined the Hollister Lodge and in 2009 became the first female Exalted Ruler of that lodge. Since that time, Angela has served the West Central District as Chair for Major Project, Veterans, ENF and Government Relations committees. Outside of her Elks activities, Angela worked at Earthbound Farms for 14 years in the transportation department. Unfortunately, the company sold (Life Happens!) and Angela decided to move away from Hollister Lodge and became a member of Gilroy Elks Lodge. She has occupied each of the chairs in the Lodge room and again became the first female Exalted Ruler of the Gilroy Elks Lodge. And then, with one month to go in her ER year, COVID hits and everything shuts down. Life happens again and Angela moved away for a year. Upon her return, she went back to Hollister Lodge for a brief time. But after the passing of her dear mother, she decided to return to the Gilroy Elks Lodge where she went on to be Exalted Ruler for three years in a row. In addition to her responsibilities as District Chair, as mentioned earlier, Angela was a three-time Social Advisor to the Exalted Rulers groups of the California West Central District #1200; the Miners (2017-2018), the Batters (2011-2012) and the Conductors (2012-2013). She has been Secretary to past District Deputy Grand Exalted Rulers, Jim Smith, and Kyle York. As Exalted Ruler, under Angela the Gilroy Lodge was named an “All American Lodge” in their division for the State and National contests. Angela has served as a Procedural Auditor for several District Deputy Grand Exalted Rulers. Angela has one sister, and one brother, one son and two granddaughters.
