The Catskill Elks Lodge #1341 is one of over 2200 Lodges and 1.3 million members across the United States of America.
Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up. Our Lodge plays its own part in the grand focus of the Elks National Organization. We have been part of this community for over 100 years doing our part of Caring and Sharing. The Elks is a community-based organization offering local scholarships, help to the needy, low-cost rental of our facilities while at the same time, promoting Americanism, support for our Veterans and programs to build a healthy younger generation. Please explore more of our site to see how we can better serve you.
Our History
An Englishman, by the name of Charles Algernon Sidney Vivian born October 22, 1842, the son of a clergyman and a successful comic singer and dancer in the music halls of London, was the founder of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Many of the Elks philosophies and traditions can be traced as far back as the year 1910. Before coming to the United States, Charles was a member of a fraternal organization in England called the Royal and Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes. The Buffaloes started around 1910, and there is considerable evidence that Charles introduced many of their beliefs to the Elks, including the 11 o'clock toast.

Our Lodge
We strive to maintain our building and the grounds to support the work we do. Our lodge offers many amenities to our members and the public. All lodges must first maintain themselves before we can help others. To that end we host several fundraisers annually and additional support comes from our members to maintain our Lodge.
We are open to the public for rentals. Our hall has a maximum capacity of 209 people. Use of the kitchen facilities may be arranged with your rental. Our Lodge offers ample parking for any occasion.
Members Lounge Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday 3pm-9pm, Sunday 1pm-7pm.
Open to all members and their guests. Visiting members from other Elks lodges are welcome.
Bingo
Want to have a fun night out….and maybe even win some cash? Join us for BINGO! The Catskill Elks Lodge runs bingo sessions every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. There are over twenty different games/multi-part games held during each bingo session. Cash prizes range on average between $30 to $50 per game/multi-part games, with special games paying out much larger prizes.
Games are open to the public; you must be at least 18 years of age to play bingo or purchase raffle tickets. Prize monies are determined by the number of people who are playing at that specific session. We usually sell 50/50 raffle and pull tab tickets as well.
