Local Elks Lodge Gets Applause! The State Library (USL) gave the Dixie Elks Lodge # 1749 in St. George a round of applause for their dedicated volunteer efforts for the blind. The Lodge was honored with a service award celebrating their 10 year partnership with USL. The Lodge has provided space in their building for volunteers to repair damaged cassette players. Thousands of cassette players have been repaired saving the State Library the cost of replacing the machines. "The State Library couldn't do what we do without volunteers," says State Librarian Donna Jones Morris. "Last year volunteers donated 1,245 hours repairing cassette players for the blind. It's estimated that the value of each hour of service is nearly $19 which totals more than $23,000 yearly."

Fond du Lac Elks Lodge 57, of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, is hosting the 2009 State Spring Convention of the Wisconsin Elks Association. Advertisement The event will run from April 30 to May 3 and hundreds of Elks from lodges throughout the state are expected to attend, according to a press release from the lodge. "We are pleased and proud to host national and state Elks leaders and so many Elk members from around Wisconsin who will be in Fond du Lac for our State Convention, and to show off our beautifully redecorated lodge building," said Brian Lorrigan, current Exalted Ruler of the Fond du Lac Lodge. "We look forward to partnering with our city's many hotels, motels, restaurants and businesses to give a warm welcome from the city and show the many nice things Fond du Lac has to offer."

Davis, 25, has lived in Lincoln Park for years. He walks past the building - a massive gray dome encircled by a hefty colonnade - almost every day. But while the Elks National Memorial and Headquarters, located at the intersection of Diversey Avenue and Sheridan Road, is open to the public seven days a week during the summer, Davis shrugged it off. "I just don't think I really know that much about the Elks," he said. "They're up there with Rotary and those other groups. You know, stuff your grandpa was in. But I don't really even know what the hell they do."

LOCKPORT-Bingo receipts totaling more than $8,200 were stolen Monday from the Elks Lodge on North Canal Road, Niagara County sheriff deputies said. A woman told deputies she arrived to clean the building at 4 a. m. and discovered a rock had been thrown through a window.

Hope this works for them.

nice pr piece and from a historical angle. First few years without a building? cool.

Nice building. Lots of good community activities. BUT, we are a fraternal organization and our charitable works "are an outgrowth of the strong bonds of friendship forged by the fires of the Home Lodge"

Tragic

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.

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.

Interesting. the elks cold have turned parts of their building into apartments but the cost would be steep. few know that quite a few big early elks lodges were apartments and rooms for rents. LA 99 was a classic that had 100 I think permanent residents.

It's surprising that the GL would force them to obtain this many more new members. Hell, there are a dozen lodges in NC that have under a 100 members. Going to force them to increase too?

Most endangered? I guess we're just old relics now. Sad

"PHILIPSBURG - The rolling fairways of the country club east of Philipsburg are dormant now, sleeping for the winter beneath a blanket of snow. Come spring, golfers will again return to the course, shooting for par amid the traps and the roughs. "
