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 7:30 PM. A meal is served in the Dining Room at 6:30 for a nominal fee.
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 38th Annual Blue Ridge Invitational Golf Tournament
It is our special honor to dedicate this year's tournament to JT Nichols. JT has been a part of our lodge since its beginning over 50 years ago. He has served our lodge for many years as secretary, ER, trustee, and chaired many committees. He has held multiple offices at the State level including the high office of State President; he has served on the board of advisors for many years as well as the state trustees. This is why we call him 'MR. ELK'. JT; we thank you for many years of friendship and support.

The ER says...
Hello to all. July was a month full of fun and adventure. I represented our lodge at the 145th Annual National Convention in Anaheim, CA. While on my trip, I met with several people and got some good ideas for activities at our lodge.
Last month was fun at the pool. The cabana bar at the pool is doing great. We had a good crowd for the 4th…sorry for the bad weather though. We had our first Karaoke by the pool which turned out good. We also celebrated Diane & Randy Chamberlin's son's 21st birthday. The luau was a great time had by all, thanks for everyone who helped make it happen.
Marilyn's at the lodge will be having August specials so look at the calendar. We will only have one meeting again in August. The Elk's Auxiliary will host a Kid's Pool party on August 15th. Please come and bring your kids. Don't forget the Blue Ridge Invitational Golf Tournament coming up in September. You can pick up your registration form at the lounge.
Congrats goes to Jim Jackson for winning the singles pool tournament for July. Also at the 4th of July party, we drew the winning ticket for the shotgun that we sold tickets on. The winner was Richard Vaughn.
We are trying to have many events for you to come to the lodge and enjoy yourself. Please come to the hill and see us. We need everyone's support.
Fraternally yours,
Tim Eldridge, ER

Elk of the Month
My August pick for Elk of the Month goes to our Ritual Team. Mt. Airy did our state and lodge proud by being the NC State Champion at the National Convention in Anaheim, CA. They posted a score of 95.8428. This was the best score our lodge has ever posted. The team finished 10th in the East Division and 15th overall. To tell you how close the national ritual contest was, 7/10 of a point is what the top 10 teams were separated by. There were 40 teams that competed. Our lodge has won the state title 10 of the past 12 years. The ritual team puts many hours in practicing over several months. This pulls them closer together as officers and helps our lodge to grow. Please join me and thank the members of our team for their dedication to our lodge. I am proud of our team and thank them for all of their hard work.
Elks, ahead of their time
