The Derby Elks Lodge hosts a rotating calendar of community events, member dinners, and fundraisers throughout the year. Breakfast rosters bring members and guests together on weekend mornings, and the full bar is a gathering point for post-event camaraderie that tends to stretch well past closing time on the clock.
For private events, the lodge is one of the best-kept secrets in Orleans County. The large event hall accommodates everything from wedding receptions and retirement parties to club banquets and organizational meetings. The commercial kitchen handles serious catering volume, and the parking lot can handle the crowd that comes with it. Rental rates are notably reasonable compared to dedicated event venues in the region.
Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens the door to all of this plus a national network of lodges, scholarship opportunities for local youth, and a community of people who genuinely look out for one another. Prospective members are encouraged to attend an event first and see the culture for themselves.
