Welcome

Welcome to the Mount Airy Elk's Lodge! We are located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains on Elks Drive just off Andy Griffith Parkway (US 52) in Mount Airy, NC. Stop by and join us for some fun and fellowship!

Elks Care. Elks Share!

Although its a small town lodge, Elkdom is very much alive and well in Mount Airy. Between activities in the Ballroom, catered events in the Dining Room, billiards and ping pong in the Rec Room, fun at the pool, and live entertainment in our spacious lounge, there's always something going on at the Mount Airy Lodge.

Meetings

ELK MEETING’S WILL BEGIN AT 7:00 PM STARTING THE FIRST MEETING IN MARCH!

Meetings are held the 2nd and 4th Thursdays except July and August when we meet on the 2nd Thursday only. Meetings are held in the ballroom at 7:00 PM.

Elks Creed

Believe in the goodness in thy self,as well as in others.
Protect childhood with tenderness, old age with respect, cherish with reverence the memory of those who have passed.
Observe faithfully the golden rule.
Enjoy the good things of earth, keep within thee the glorious sunshine of youth and remain always of good cheer.

The ER says...

Hello everyone! Thank you for being an Elk. June has become a busy month for us. The Pool is open and doing great. I hope everyone is enjoying the water. Please use it. Card night and pool tournaments are still going strong. The Road Rally was again a big success, thank you Auxiliary for your dedication on this event. Bryan George thank you for all your help on this!

The Family Night at the pool was great; if you missed it you really missed it! The food was great and a wonderful time in fun and fellowship by all. I would like to see this happen each month while the pool is open. Please check your newsletter.

Flag Day was June 13th. To me this is one of the most meaningful ceremonies to me as an Elk. The Flag of our country is always presented to the outgoing ER, but it really did not belong to me. It is Ours and I am just charged as its keeper. I presented this year's flag to Diane Chamberlain. As most of you know by now she deserved it as much as any ER has, especially me. The work she does for us is not a labor, but of love for the lodge and its people. Thank you Diane for all you do in supporting our Lodge and its members.

Special thanks go to our Leading Knight Freddy Badgett and our Lecturing Knight Mark Barr for helping correct the drain problem at the back of the Lodge. Thanks to Stan Lowe for his help on the pool mechanical problems. Without the help of our members we would not be able to do the things that need to be done. It does not go unappreciated!

Thanks to All who came and supported our "Fish Nite" Friday June 18th. The fish, shrimp and all the fixins were great!!! To Jeff Hemric and Jim Jackson, thank you for cooking the fish and all that little extra you did! Thanks to Karen and Vickie for helping clean up! We appreciate all of you!

Fraternally your's,
Perry Bryant,
E.R.
