About Us

Members playing cornhole inside the Elks Lodge.

On the second and fourth Friday of every month, the parking lot at 2737 Trewigtown Road fills up well before 6 p.m. Inside, 16 rounds of bingo get underway, snacks circulate for a donation, and the room buzzes with the kind of easy conversation that only happens among people who actually know each other. That 4.9-star rating from members and guests is not an accident.

The North Penn Elks Lodge has been a fixture in the Colmar, PA area for decades, carrying forward the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks' century-old mission: charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. Those words get lived out here in practical ways, from fundraising for local causes to simply keeping a door open for neighbors who want somewhere worthwhile to spend an evening.

Line dancing nights with Shotgun Jenny pack the floor with regulars and first-timers alike. The classic lodge feeling that members describe in their reviews is real, earned over years of showing up for each other. If you have been looking for a community organization that still operates the way community organizations are supposed to, this is the place.

What We Offer

Bingo nights run every second and fourth Friday, doors open at 6 p.m. and play continues through roughly 10 p.m. Sixteen games, substantial prizes, and donation-based snacks make it one of the most popular recurring events in the area. Bring cash, bring friends, and expect to stay the whole night.

Beyond bingo, the Lodge hosts line dancing evenings led by Shotgun Jenny, social mixers, and member-organized events throughout the year. The hall is available for Lodge-sponsored gatherings, and membership opens the door to a national network of Elks chapters with reciprocal privileges across the country.

Membership itself is the core offering. Joining the BPOE means access to all Lodge events, the ability to vote on charitable initiatives, and a standing invitation to show up any time the Lodge is open and know that familiar faces will be there. New members are welcomed warmly, and the existing membership actively looks for good people to bring into the fold.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
