Join Us!
Thinking about joining the Elks? We'd love to have you!
To be eligible for membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, you must be a citizen of the United States over the age of 21 who believes in God.
You can be sponsored by any member in good standing from any lodge in the country. You'll also need two other Elks who will be your references. Please fill out a copy of the Membership Application and return your completed application to the Lodge Secretary.
Don't forget:
- All information must be filled in, for both the applicant and proposer.
- Make sure all questions are answered.
- Make sure both the applicant and proposer have signed and dated the application.
- Return the application, along with the $10 application fee to:
Silverton Elks Lodge
300 High Street
Silverton, OR 97381
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 and your sponsor to meet with the committee so that they can interview you.
After the interview is concluded, the committee will report to the Lodge concerning your membership. The members will be given a notice not less than 10 days nor more than two months before the vote will be taken.
When the vote is concluded, you will be notified and asked to present yourself and your spouse for indoctrination. During indoctrination, you will learn more about the Order's programs and charities. You will also be told during the program the date you will be initiated.
After initiation as an Elk, you can take part in all meetings and social functions of the Lodge.
If for any reason your application is rejected, you can submit a new application for membership after six months from the date of rejection.
