The Niagara Falls Elks Lodge #346 web site is a great way to organize our events, keep members informed, and attract
a broader audience by introducing ourselves to the community. We'll use this site to inform people about our fraternal organization,
our charities, our community involvment, to share ideas, and to organize events and activities.
Niagara Falls Elks Lodge received it's charter on July 7, 1896. We are currently located at 1805 Factory Outlet
Blvd and have been here since 1976. Our Lodge was victim to urban redevelopment in the early 70's, our Lodge was bought
up by the city and we moved to our present location. Our membership is approximately 385 members. We are very
fortunate to have a membership that is very active in the Lodge and it's various functions. Our Lodge is also a very
strong pr0moter of all State and Grand Lodge events, activities and projects. We actively participate in many of our
NYS West District #6520 events and our associated district Lodges events. We strongly believe that support
coming from within will promote support and participation from the community.
