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
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 E.R. Says
The beautiful weather has helped in getting our pool ready for opening day on MAY 19th (that, and many hard working volunteers that came out!) Spring/Summer events are planned with lots happening at the Lodge. Friday April 20 was our Endless Pasta Night at the Restaurant; we hope to continue with monthly Friday Night or Saturday Breakfast buffets. All the committees are working diligently to support the lodge. April 21st was the Road Rally for charity and the ER Ball- a wonderful time was had by all!
Tuesdays in the Lounge will be Karaoke nights and Fridays DJ nights (schedule permitting.) Stop by for the fun, always good times and good friends in the Lounge. Our newsletter has a new look! Take the time to view the events listed in the newsletter and hang the calendar on your fridge! Try attending as many events as possible. We would love to see you "On the Hill".
I have a bit to say about our Elk of the Month for May. The person has attended every meeting, every event, including the Kid's Easter party, volunteered at every work day that we've had since joining about 2 months ago. He is a member of the Motorcycle Committee as well. He was always an Elk at heart; he just recently joined our circle of friends for real. Mike Hulme is that man. Enjoy the special parking Mike, you deserve it!
Best regards to all,
Exalted Ruler

Elk of the Month
Dianne Chamberlain
June Elk of the month deserves more than mere awards, this Elk is a big part of the "Glue" that holds us all together as Mount Airy Lodge 2061. If you spend any time at the lodge, you know the super human effort that this Elk and family members do for us all. A "Thank You" sign big as our building would not be enough to equal that effort. Diane Chamberlain is our Elk of the Month for June. Her husband Randy and son Garrett are deserving of praise as well. I urge each of our members to take the time to say "Thank you" to all our volunteers that mean the world to us. Your ER thanks you!
