The New London Elks is a social and charitable fraternal organization composed of men and women from the towns of New London, Montville, Waterford, and East Lyme. We are always looking for new members to help us in our mission to aid Veterans and Children in our communities. For membership information, email our lodge secretary - click here.
Membership in the Elks comes with many benefits.
Our lodge features a full bar with special members prices, a dining lounge, two full commercial kitchens, a large banquet facility that can host nearly 200 individuals, two pool tables, and a shuffleboard table. Monthly social activities include special dinners and activities. Members are welcome to use the abudnant spaces, which include room for game nights, get-togethers with friends, and other activities.
The Elks are also known for their community service for children and veterans. We feature annual youth contests in free throw shooting and soccer skills, an annual Lids for Kids Safety event in which neighborhood children receive free bicycle helmets and learn about bike safety, an annual Trunk or Treat event at Haloween, and much more.
With membership to the New London Elks, you gain access to not only our lodge in downtown New London, but also the nearly 2,000 other Elks lodges including nearby Westbrook with their pristine beach on the Long Island Sound and our sister lodge in Groton, featuring spectacular views of the water from Long Point. Park at the lodge and you're within walking distance to downtown and the Garde Theater; we're just one block away from Star Street.
Membership is just $130 per year, a little more than $10 a month. Members may bring guests to the lodge as well. Your membership and patronage of the lodge helps us support our community through our many events, fundraisers, and donations to our community.
If you'd like to see what we're all about, contact our secretary and schedule a visit. We'll show you around and we can answer any of your questions.
