Lodge #1823 hosts a rotating calendar of community events that keeps the social hall busy year-round. Derby Day parties, holiday celebrations, and member dinners give regulars a reason to show up every month. The kitchen turns out solid food that guests consistently mention by name, and the bar keeps things comfortable without pretense.
Beyond the social calendar, the lodge functions as a private event venue available for member-hosted gatherings, and it serves as the operational home for all Elks charitable programs in the Statesville area. Youth activities, scholarship programs, and veteran support initiatives all flow through the lodge. Members gain access to a national network of over 2,000 lodges, meaning an Elk traveling from Mission Viejo or anywhere else can walk in and feel at home.
Membership is open to U.S. citizens 21 and older who believe in God. Prospective members can visit during open events or reach out through the national elks.org portal to start the process.
