The Lodge at 220 N Central functions as both a private membership club and a community event venue. Members enjoy regular social nights, access to the lounge, and a direct connection to the BPOE's national network of lodges across the country.
For events, the hall is available for class reunions, anniversary dinners, retirement parties, organizational meetings, and civic fundraisers. The staff have handled enough gatherings to know how to set up, serve, and clean up without drama. Catering and bar service can be arranged for larger bookings.
Membership opens up additional benefits: voting rights in lodge governance, eligibility for scholarship programs, participation in veteran outreach initiatives, and the simple satisfaction of belonging to one of America's oldest fraternal organizations. Prospective members can inquire directly through the national elks.org portal or stop by the lodge during open hours.
