How Can You Join?
You must be sponsored by a member of the Elks Lodge you wish to join. You also need two other Elks who will be your co-sponsors.
The Elk who proposes you for membership must obtain a Membership Application from the Lodge Secretary.
After your
proposer fills in the required portion, you will be given the Application for Membership. Fill it in, following the instructions
and answering all questions. Return the completed application to the Lodge Secretary with the prescribed fees.
Your
application will be read at a regular Lodge meeting. It will then be forwarded to the Investigating Committee, who will call
you and set up a time for you to meet with the committee so that they can interview you.
