Wing night is the event that gets people talking first. One dollar per wing, served hot and fresh with french fries, on a night that draws a crowd for good reason. It is the kind of offering that turns a first visit into a habit.
Beyond the food, the lodge hosts a full calendar of member events, social gatherings, and community fundraisers. The bar and lounge give members a comfortable place to unwind, catch a game, or catch up with people they actually like. Private event rentals open the beautiful facility to the broader community for celebrations, meetings, and receptions.
Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks comes with more than a card. It connects you to a national network of over 800,000 members, local scholarship opportunities for students, veteran support programs, and a lodge that genuinely functions as a community anchor in southern Illinois.
