"I must admit that I have been a member of Elks Lodge #693 for over twenty years; however, over that period of time we have changed lodge locations and vastly improved our facilities. Our current Lodge has complete disabled person access, extremely clean dining areas, bar and restrooms, and has comfortable banquet facilities as well. The Lodge's current chefs (Derrie's) are outstanding. Great selections, moderate pricing along with wonderful wait staff. The Lodge is open to Elks members each Tuesday from 5:00 to approx. 9:00 p.m. and on Fridays from 5:00 to approx. 9:00 p.m. The Lodge is also open on Wednesday evenings to the public for Elks Charity Bingo in addition to other special events. During the Lenten Season, the Elks Lodge is open to the public each Friday for our Charity Fish Fries. An excellent Friday Fish Fry in a very comfortable club. Enjoy!"
