"Really neat lodge! As a visiting elk, like most lodges was welcomed and treated well. This lodge has quite a bit of space to it and a great bar area that includes a pool table and a couple shuffle board tables. They also have a nice smokers lounge right outside the full wrap around bar. Definitely a great lodge to visit especially if your a visiting elk dropping your kids off for college #9"

"Lodge does not disappoint ♥️ newer building with open smoking patio (for those who do smoke.) Very friendly and they are the Missouri state archives which was additionally cool 🔥 If you are a member with an RV, they have a Big, open lot all the way around-50a at four different light poles. Think it was $20"

"I recently became a member of this wonderful organization everyone made me feel welcome. The Elks Lodge brings neighbors together for community events, charitable giving and has social events. We gather as neighbors, families, & individuals to connect to give back to our community and our veterans. Though other programs they support children or those in need. They foster patriotism and fellowship amongst their members. This past Saturday I volunteer with the Elks at CLC assisting living at Truman VA hospital for a charitable game event for the veterans. I was assigned to assist a visually handicap person this was perfect for me as I am a Retired RN but I had been an Acute Eye Charge Nurse for over 9.5 years for a big hospital in PA. This brought back excellent memories working with fifteen eye specialists and my patients back then but now volunteering one on one with someone that needs my help what great satisfaction that gives you! I will continue to help this event every month at CLC. If you like helping others or giving back or just meeting your neighbors to be part of organization that is always helping others reach out to Elks Lodge meet with Nancy membership chair she can provide you more information on this wonderful organization. 7/29/25@2135CST Ellen H."
