Lodge 140 offers members and their guests a full-service bar with a welcoming, no-pretense atmosphere that's hard to replicate anywhere else on the square. Regular events fill the calendar throughout the year, from bingo nights that draw enthusiastic crowds to holiday gatherings, fundraisers, and member socials that keep the lodge buzzing every season.
Beyond the social scene, membership unlocks access to Elks national programs, including youth scholarships, veteran assistance initiatives, and community grants that funnel real resources back into Mt. Vernon. The lodge hall itself is also available for private events, making it a meaningful venue for celebrations tied to the community fabric.
New members are welcomed through a straightforward process, and prospective members can often attend as a guest first to get a feel for the place. Whether you're a lifelong Elk or someone who just got their first invite, the experience at Lodge 140 tends to stick.
