Lodge #1539 offers membership to men and women who believe in giving back. Once you join, you gain access to regular member meetings, social events, and the full calendar of charitable activities the lodge organizes throughout the year. Members vote on how lodge funds are directed, which means your dues have a direct line to local impact.
The lodge hall is available for private event rentals for members and, in some cases, community organizations. Past events have included scholarship award dinners, holiday parties, and civic gatherings. The lodge also connects members to the broader Elks National Foundation, which funds millions of dollars in scholarships and veterans programs annually, giving local members access to national-level resources.
For prospective members, the process starts with a simple inquiry. You do not need to know an Elk to apply. The lodge welcomes anyone who believes in American values, community service, and the idea that neighbors should look out for one another.
