Lodge No. 1511 offers more than a membership card. The clubhouse features a full-service bar with affordable drink prices that members and guests consistently praise, plus a kitchen serving up hot lunches that regularly come in under budget. The outdoor pool is a genuine highlight, open to members and their guests, and scenic enough that local wildlife agrees.
Beyond the amenities, the lodge hosts a calendar of events, fundraisers, and charity drives that funnel real money back into the Bradenton community. From youth programs to veteran support initiatives, the Elks' charitable mission is woven into everything here. Members also gain access to the broader BPOE network, including reciprocal privileges at Elks lodges across the country.
Membership is open to American citizens over 21 who believe in the organization's values. Guests are welcome to visit with a member, and the lodge actively encourages prospective members to come see what the community is about before committing.
