San Pedro Elks Lodge coming soon!

With more than 2,000 members, the San Pedro Elks Lodge is a fraternity of volunteers committed to the advancement of humanity. Our collective is guided by our House Committee which consists of Trustees, Knights and the Exalted Ruler who oversees the governance of the Lodge.  As a national fraternity every lodge must comply with national Statutes, however each lodge is independent in governance with their own By-Laws which are developed and voted on by the membership.  We have meetings on Monday where we discuss the business of running the lodge and acts and programs for benevolence.   

Nationally, the Elks were first established in Manhattan New York in 1868. In 1917, the Elks privately funded the first Veterans Administration hospital in the nation. Locally, the San Pedro Elks was founded in 1905. As part of a national American fraternal nonprofit organization, the San Pedro Elks has been a cornerstone in the San Pedro community for the past 115 years. We are a volunteer organization and with benevolence we serve the needs of the community by promoting and promulgating kindness. We are protective of the weak, the under-served and the disenfranchised. . We have national, regional and local charitable programs.  The San Pedro Elks is the 966th lodge in the more than 2,000 lodges across the country. We are uniquely American as our organization only exists within the United States of America.  We are proud to serve and help build a better America. elks lodge
