Join us for Business After Hours at the St. Joseph-Benton Harbor #541 Elks Lodge on Thursday, August 21st from 5:00 to 7:00 PM! Located on the banks of the beautiful St. Joseph River, Lodge #541 has proudly served the community since 1900. We'll celebrate the expansion of their scenic riverfront patio with a ribbon cutting at 5:45pm, alongside appetizers, a cash/credit bar (non-alcoholic beverages are covered), and a relaxed evening of networking and camaraderie.
The Elks believe in building strong communities, with members embracing the motto "Elks Care – Elks Share." Through ongoing programs, the lodge supports veterans, individuals with special needs, youth development, and countless local charitable efforts—raising over $100,000 in recent years. Annual traditions include Flag Day services with area Boy Scouts, veteran dinners, food and clothing drives, and fishing trips for children with special needs. The lodge also participates in the Gold Key Scholarship Fund, helping students with physical or educational challenges pursue higher education, and proudly supports national programs such as the Elks Hoop Shoot and Veterans Service initiatives.
Lodge #541 isn’t just about service—it's also a place for fun and friendship. Members enjoy restaurant-style meals, events throughout the year, and unbeatable sunset views from the riverfront patio. If you’re inspired by purpose-driven connections, this is the perfect place to learn more. For details about membership, visit the lodge or call 269-363-4180.
