About Us

A sign requesting golf balls for US military personnel in Baghdad.

On Main Street in Penn Yan, Lodge #1722 has earned a 4.7-star reputation the old-fashioned way: by showing up. Fundraisers, community dinners, receptions for local organizations, private celebrations, and charitable giving are not occasional events here. They are the rhythm of the place, week after week, year after year.

Step through the doors and you find a beautifully maintained lodge with rooms that have hosted everything from scholarship banquets to first responder appreciation nights. The members are the kind of people who volunteer before they are asked, who know your name by your second visit, and who treat every guest like a prospective lifelong friend.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been woven into American civic life for over 150 years, and Lodge #1722 carries that tradition forward with genuine energy right here in the Finger Lakes. If you have been looking for a place where your time and money actually move the needle for your neighbors, this is it.

What We Offer

Lodge #1722 opens its doors for far more than members-only gatherings. The lodge regularly hosts community organization dinners, private receptions, milestone celebrations, and fundraising events for local nonprofits, making it one of the most active event venues on Main Street.

Membership unlocks a full calendar of social events, a welcoming bar and lounge, access to the national Elks network, and the satisfaction of contributing to real charitable work. The lodge donates both time and money to dozens of causes each year, including youth scholarship programs, veterans' support initiatives, and local emergency relief.

Interested in hosting your next reception or community event here? The lodge offers flexible space for groups of all sizes, with the kind of hands-on hospitality that banquet halls simply cannot replicate.

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
