Well good luck. But with an average age of 70, odds are slim they will make it. Tragic. Actually, most of California lodges average age is in the 70's. Only some are under 60.

I've been there before. It's a nice lodge but it is wise for them to rent out there kitchen/restaurant. Could be a win/win

This lodge apparently rents it's facilities to businesses who use it for commercial purposes. We have a few in our lodge who think that you can't do that. I aim to show that you can

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

Hate to see that but quite a small lodge it appears. An area view from google maps shows an isolated building in a small town. No pool or other amenities.

this makes for good PR but the problem is that we lost another 10,000 and are down to 779,000 or something like that. Only 1933 lodges with 6 forced to close in the last 3 weeks.

good news that something is being preserved from McCook. The bad news is that it lost it's charter. This was one hell of a lodge in it's day. The fact is that the GL is mostly responsible for the demise of this lodge and the dramatic loss of membership. nebraska is down 77% from 1985. and that was as of 2014. Down to 7,000 from 32,000. HUGE drop that can only be attributed to leadership (or lack of).

I hate to see that. I understand there has been great dissension at the SF elks. Indeed several years ago, there was a newspaper expose on the outlandish travel expenses the officer's were incurring. Guess that just goes to prove that having buckets of money coming in for renting the building is no panacea.
