BPOElks

had to have been a hell of a hurricane to completely destroy this building

cow patty bingo?

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

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

IDK if this is the best pr piece as it seems to imply that the lodge is fading away and becoming a bit desparate

Just as I predicted, these boys got the gift of a lifetime. .. our 100 yr old crown jewel 'the elks Home' for a song. Borrowed the money to pay the 4.5 million selling price (appraised value $15mm) and two years later get advanced $10mm more!!. I guarantee they won't be putting all that money in the Home but mostly in their back pockets. This article points out some crucial misinformation from GL. "We could never break even as the most residents we could have is 120", well these former consultants to the Elks Home knew better. They are at 185!!. Break even was well below that!! Tragic, sad and totally unnecessary.

now that's unique and a great idea.that also promotes safety.

nice idea and good exposure for the lodge. Of course, our paranoid AON insurance company would probably go ballistic. This AON company IMHO needs to be removed and replaced with another company. They are killing lodges rental revenue streams with their paranoia.

Couldn't agree with you more... Only problem AON is like every other insruance company, there in it to make MONEY!!!

interesting

"wELKome Party". I like that. Catchy phrase

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

Jackson MI. Good article

outstanding fundraiser ... and FOR the lodge. Too many lodges ignore their own real needs until it is too late.

Beaver Falls Elks National Championships? wow

I wonder how much business they lost on that unnecessary closure?
