Lodge 1016 operates a full-service bar stocked and ready for members and their guests, alongside a kitchen that serves up reliable, satisfying food without pretense. Regular events fill the calendar year-round, from fraternal meetings and community fundraisers to large-scale tournaments like the IEBA State Bowling Tournament the lodge has helped coordinate.
For travelers passing through Effingham, the lodge offers a rare convenience: 50-amp RV hookups on the property, available to visitors who stop in and ask. It's the kind of hospitality that doesn't show up on most lodging apps. Members also gain access to the national Elks network, scholarship programs, veteran support initiatives, and a community of people who show up when it counts.
Whether you're exploring membership or just curious about what the lodge offers your community, the doors are open and the welcome is real.
