The lodge offers a flexible, full-featured facility for members and approved guests. The main hall is available for private events, club meetings, fundraisers, and celebrations, with catering options that have earned genuine praise from guests. The bar is open during lodge hours and serves as a comfortable gathering spot after meetings or events.
Beyond the physical space, Lodge 550 runs active charitable programs throughout the year, including youth initiatives, scholarship funds, and seasonal community drives like the coat rack program that distributed 86 coats last winter. Members gain access to the national Elks network, which spans thousands of lodges across the country, along with local camaraderie that is harder to put a number on.
Membership is open to American citizens 21 and older who believe in God. Prospective members can reach out through the national Elks contact portal to connect directly with Lodge 550 and learn about upcoming events or the application process.
