Become an Elk

As an Elk, you will be joining with millions of fine and noble American Elks who have helped better the destiny and way of life for countless thousands in our country for over a century and a quarter.  Elks seek to bring into our family those who delight in wholesome associations with congenial companions, who possess a deep sense of patriotism, fair play, and dedication to noble causes – a person who finds fulfillment in serving humanity, aiding those in distress, and proving themselves to be true friends to all in need.

Prospective members must be sponsored by an existing Member from any Elks Lodge.  The Elk Member and prospect must fill out an application together and submit it to the Lodge Secretary along with two signatures of additional Elk members and the application fee. The prospective member’s name is then proposed during one of our twice-monthly lodge meetings (the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays) and then voted upon at the subsequent meeting. Once prospective members are approved, they are contacted to attend a pre-initiation informational meeting, and then the prospect is required to attend an initiation during a formal meeting.
