Lodge #337 runs a full calendar of events, from Friday night fish fries to banquets, holiday dinners, and member mixers. The dining room and bar are open to members and their guests, serving hearty meals at prices that consistently draw praise in reviews.
Beyond the social hall, the Elks offer structured veteran support programs, youth activity grants, and community scholarship funds that go directly to Appleton-area students and families. Members can also tap into the national Elks network for travel benefits, reciprocal lodge privileges across the country, and access to one of the largest private charitable foundations in the U.S.
Joining is straightforward. Prospective members must be U.S. citizens who believe in a higher power, sponsored by a current member or by contacting the lodge directly through the Elks national website. Membership dues are modest, the return is significant, and the people you'll meet on day one tend to become regulars in your life.
