Second place is not bad for this elks lodge. I'm sure it makes their members proud as well.

Great website for the lodge. Lodge has over 1,000 members

Very troubling

That's a nice touch and a great way to honor a long time elk

here's one way to grow your Lodge.. iniatiate the entire Fire department

Odd.. Lodge has nearly 400 members and gives generously to the ENF.

Lot of Elks lodges in the same dire situation. Just holding on due to the dedication of a few aging members.

Good overview of Wheeling Elks long history in Elkdom. 130 years!! Sad to say, it is down to 200+ members and a shadow of its former self. Much the way the rest of the elks are fading away into obscurity.

Intriguing article that an thoughtful and insightful writer dug up from a long time ago about the members of this long defunct lodge. Amazing actually.

Nice brief message for public consumption

I guess they are a member of the Chamber.. not a bad idea

Don't see this happen often. So good news here although there are not many younger members. Also sharing with American Legion which is? I'd like to see how that cost sharing works out. FYI, if anyone reading this frequents the Elks message board, I have been banned from there for 60 days. Elks gestapo I suppose but something about my postings on Austin? Go figure. Regardless, this good news should be reported on the message board at elks.org

Tragic death.

I'm sure the St Augustine lodge appreciates the windfall. $3k a concert is good money.
