Lodge 1293 offers a full social calendar anchored by the members-only bar and lounge downstairs, a comfortable space for card games, casual drinks, and catching up after a long week. Regular events bring members together for dinners, holiday gatherings, fundraisers, and themed nights throughout the year.
Beyond the social side, membership connects you to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks network nationally, with access to scholarship programs, veterans' support initiatives, and community service opportunities. Lodge 1293 also makes its facilities available for private events and member-organized functions.
New members can inquire about joining through the lodge's website at gardinerbpoe1293.com. Dues are modest relative to what you get: a real community, a local hangout, and the satisfaction of belonging to an organization that gives back to Kennebec County every year.
