Sharon Lodge #103 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of the links in the fraternal chain which makes up the patriotic Order of Elks. What are Elks? The Elks are American citizens who guide their course in life by the Cardinal Principles of the Order: Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity. Who are Elks? Elks are patriots. Elks are teachers. Elks are leaders. Elks are phi
lanthropists. Elks are the "Best People On Earth." What do Elks do? The Elks have a long history of charity and dedication to their communities, to veterans, and to the youth of America. With many programs to develop the future of our country, we ensure that those we help become reputable citizens who believe and teach our principles. Young Elks, in return, provide for our veterans and honor them with periodic visits and donations to Veterans Association hospitals, and by honoring their memories and accomplishments every Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Just remember our motto: "Elks care, Elks share." How do you become an Elk? To become an Elk, one must be an American citizen who is 21 years of age (at minimum), has a belief in God, and has a devotion to country and community.
