Mount Airy Elks Lodge #2061 Auxiliary

Regular meetings are the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30.

The Auxiliary was formed in 1994 to assist the Elks Lodge in activities and charity fund raisers. There are seven executive officers plus the membership, which has committees to oversee designated projects. Membership is open to the spouse / or fiancee of an Elk in good standing and widows of deceased Elks in good standing at the time of their death. Required age is 21.

Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Auxiliary may obtain an application from any Auxiliary officer or member, complete it and return it to the lodge.

In the lounge, the Auxiliary maintains a bulletin board that keeps you informed of the most recently completed and upcoming projects. Above the board is our mission statement:

To build strength in the Lodge through the unity of families of lodge members. To further the interest and activities of the Lodge in any way we can. To extend our hands to new families, involve spouses, fiancees, and children in events, and help needy people in the community.

In the past year the Auxiliary donated over $4000.00 to charities in our community. In addition to our fundraisers, we have 3 annual children's parties that are free of charge to Elk members and their families.

Hi All,

The Kid's Easter Party was excellent, we had >20 kids and many members and guests in attendence. You missed the Easter bunny, he did such a good job! Thanks to all Auxiliary and Elks for helping to make this a great family function.

Our Annual Road Rally is just around the corner. If you have never attended this, grab anyone with a motorcycle or classic car and come join us! We will be raising money for the Red Cross and to continue our Elk projects, a great time is to be had. Come early and register and have donuts and coffee with us. Registration starts at 9:00am and the ride will depart at 11:30am. Be sure to return to the lodge afterwards for hot dogs with fixings and to see if you have won anything from the card hands or drawings.

As usual, we are recruiting new members to the Auxiliary. If you are an Elk or spouse of an Elk and have interest in becoming an Auxiliary member, please let us know. We would love to have you join us. Our meetings are the 1st Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm in the lounge. We have multiple events throughout the year to support the Elks, kids and our community.

Our member of the month for May goes to Cody Rippey. He was the Easter bunny for the kid's party and he also went down to the VA the day before the kid’s party dressed in the bunny suit to pass out easter items to the veterans, they were very tickled to see him. Enjoy the parking space!

Our next meeting will be on May 3rd at 6pm in the dining room, please note the change in location. Hope to see you all at the lodge!
