Lodge 48 offers a full calendar of events, social gatherings, and charitable programs that give members real reasons to show up week after week. The bar and lounge provide a relaxed spot to connect after work, catch a game, or simply unwind with neighbors who share your values. Regular dinners, holiday celebrations, and member-run activities keep the schedule lively throughout the year.
On the community side, the lodge channels member energy into veterans' support, youth programs, and local fundraisers that make a measurable difference in the West Grand neighborhood and across Kent County. Members also gain access to the broader BPOE national network, opening doors to reciprocal lodge privileges when traveling and a community that spans the entire country.
For those interested in hosting private events, the lodge's facilities are available for gatherings that align with Elks values. Membership applications are welcomed from any U.S. citizen who believes in God, and the process is straightforward for anyone ready to get involved.
