About Us

On Ash Ave in downtown Akron, Lodge #2579 has been one of the steadiest gathering points on the Eastern Plains of Colorado for decades. Members here aren't strangers who signed a form. They're farmers, veterans, teachers, and small business owners who show up for each other at county fairs, school fundraisers, and flag ceremonies alike.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has always put community before ceremony, and that spirit comes through clearly at this lodge. Visitors consistently rate it 4.8 out of 5, calling it a "great place" and a "nice place" because the atmosphere is genuine rather than formal. The hall is where real conversations happen, where scholarship checks get handed to local students, and where the American flag is honored every single day at 11 p.m.

If you've never visited a lodge before, this one is a natural starting point. The members are welcoming to guests, proud of their town, and serious about the four cardinal virtues that define Elkdom: Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. That's not a slogan on a wall. It's how business actually gets done here.

What We Offer

Lodge #2579 offers more than a meeting room. Members enjoy access to the lodge hall for social events, private gatherings, and community programs throughout the year. Regular meetings keep the brotherhood connected, while committees organize charitable drives that funnel real dollars back into Akron, CO and surrounding Washington County.

The lodge actively supports youth scholarship programs, Veterans outreach, and Hoop Shoot free-throw competitions for local kids. Community members can also explore membership through a straightforward application process, opening the door to a national network of more than 800,000 Elks across the country.

Special events, holiday celebrations, and patriotic observances fill the calendar and give members and their families consistent reasons to gather. Whether you're considering membership or simply want to support a lodge that gives back, reaching out through the official elks.org/2579 page is the easiest first step.

Join the Elks
A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
