Green Valley Elks Membership Sign-up Steps
- If you know a current Elks member contact them and have them take you by the lodge to experience the social quarters or to an event to experience the fun.
- If you don’t know a member come by the lodge when the Lounge on the 2nd floor is open and introduce yourself to the bar staff – Let them know you’re interested in joining.
- You must be sponsored by a member of the Elks Lodge and reside in the jurisdiction of the Lodge you wish to join. You also need two other Elks who will be your co-sponsors. The Elk who proposes you for membership can help guide you through the application process.
- Download and print this Membership Application or find an application form in the Lounge during business hours.
- Return the completed application to the front office during business hours along with our $50 application fee.
- Your application will be read at a regular Lodge meeting. You will be contacted (via mail) by our Lodge Secretary with a welcome letter inviting you to our Investigative Committee (interview).
- After the interview is concluded, the committee will report to the Lodge concerning your membership. You will be given a notice not less than 10 days nor more than two months before the vote will be taken.
- When the vote is concluded, you will be notified by our Lodge Secretary with a date to return for indoctrination (initiation). Initiation is on the fourth Tuesday of every month.
