In case you were wondering Sec 16.08 allows for a lodge to hold a social session where non-members may be admitted. Same thing as an open house if you ask me.

"MILWAUKIE -- The Milwaukie Elks Lodge is holding an open house and membership drive Saturday featuring family entertainment. "

some hard core elks would say this is against the rules. I think it's a great idea myself.

This is a cool fundraising opportunity that a lodge with the right facilities can offer other non-profits. Sort of like an open house!!

looks good!

Cool way to have an open house

I understand it went well though no one from the public came in. Just Elks and their guests.

Jackson MI. Good article
