HISTORY

A small group of Elks' ladies began meeting together in 1917 to wrap bandages for World War I. They enjoyed the socialability and at the same time felt the joy of accomplishment. The combination of assisting others and enjoying good fellowship appealed to other women and a community group was formed. The first Emblem Club was organized in Providence, Rhode Island. Nine Emblem Clubs were organized during the first year in the New England states; those states included Rhode Island, Masachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut. This number has steadily increased and now in more than seventy years of formal existence, Emblem Clubs are located in every section of this country including California, Nevada, Hawaii and Alaska. The Emblem Club attracts individuals of many diverse talents, abilities and ages, all of whom combine to make Emblem a very special organization. In Emblem, there is an important place for each member.
