Lodge #1701 offers its members a full-service bar where you can unwind after a long shift without paying downtown prices. The lounge is the social center of the lodge, a place where conversations start easily and friendships tend to stick.
Beyond the bar, the lodge hosts regular events and meetings that keep the calendar full: lodge dinners, holiday gatherings, and charitable fundraisers that put money directly back into the St. Marys community. Members also gain access to Elks national benefits, including scholarship programs for local students, veterans' outreach initiatives, and reciprocal visiting privileges at Elks lodges across the country.
Membership is open to American citizens who believe in the principles the Order was built on. Prospective members can reach out through the national Elks website at elks.org or connect with a current member at the lodge on 2nd Street to start the process.
