About Us
The Club
You are welcome at the Lodge/Club any time during posted hours. Hours may change during the year. Please see the hours posted at the doors or in our newsletter.
Your membership card grants you access to any Elks Lodge in the United States. To open the door, hold your card with the logo facing up and "insert here" arrow facing the card reader. Push the card in until you hear the buzz and the door lock releases. Keep pushing it in until you open the door.
Please sign the member book located at either door when you enter the Lodge. It helps us to maintain our private club status.
The back room area and bar can be rented out to members and/or private parties by contacting the Club Manager.
Generally, if the party is held in the back room, it is a private event and members and their guests are encouraged to refrain from entering.
The bar can be rented, but will remain open to members.

The Order spends more than $80,000,000 every year for benevolent, educational and patriotic community-minded programs in such fields as benefitting special needs children, sponsoring Elks National Foundation scholarships, scouting, athletic teams, veterans' works, a national "Hoop Shoot" free-throw contest involving more than 3 million children, physical and occupational therapy programs and patriotic programs.
The youth of our country have always been important to the Order. It is for this reason the Elks Drug Awareness Education Program was launched to warn primary grade students and their parents of the dangers in drug use. Additionally, every lodge observes June 14th as Flag Day, a tradition which the Elks began in 1907 and was later adopted by the Congress as an official observance.
