Members gather for pool tournaments, weekly poker nights, and televised sporting events in a setting that feels like a genuine neighborhood institution rather than a rented banquet hall.\n\nBeyond the games, the Elks mission runs deeper. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks channels member dues and fundraising into youth programs, veterans' support, and local community grants. When you join Lodge 74, you are not just getting access to a great room with pool\u2026",
