The lodge runs a full social calendar built around events that are genuinely fun and financially purposeful. Pig roasts, clam bakes, and spaghetti dinners pack the hall and put real money toward families in need across the Manville and Hillsborough area. These are not stuffy charity galas, they are Saturday-night events with food, drinks, and neighbors who know your name.
Beyond the big fundraisers, the lodge offers a welcoming bar and lounge for members, hosts private events and milestone celebrations, and provides a gathering space for the kind of face-to-face community that is increasingly rare. Membership in the BPOE opens the door to national Elks benefits, youth programs, and veterans initiatives while keeping your investment local.
Prospective members are encouraged to visit, meet current members, and see the lodge firsthand. Events are periodically open to the public, making it easy to experience the community before committing.
