That kind of magnetic pull is no accident.

The atmosphere is equal parts neighborhood gathering spot and proud fraternal institution, where long-time members and curious newcomers alike find their footing fast.

"I love how the members support each other. My boyfriend's mom passed away and they came together and provided the hall and all of the food and drinks for friends and family preceding the funeral ceremony. They're very family oriented and treat their members and families like their own."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
