The theme for her four-month term is "One Shoe Can Change A Girl’s World." Whether little steps or big, she has numerous service and fun projects planned for the members, including participation in a statewide service project to raise funds for the Barry R. Kirschner Wildlife Foundation in Butte County, attend a convention in Fresno, take a mystery trip, assist with a reading program at an elementary school, make Valentine’s Day cards for widows, make and deliver gifts to patients at Children’s Hospital of Orange County, and host a mother/daughter tea.

Victoria grew up in Mission Viejo and is currently a freshman at Cal State Fullerton, where she studies elementary education with a goal of becoming a kindergarten teacher. 

Victoria was installed at an event Feb. 6 at the Saddleback Masonic Center.
