Game nights at this lodge are the real deal. "Show Me the Money" draws a crowd every week, a card-based game with real cash prizes that members describe as bingo with a serious upgrade. The energy in the room on those nights is something you have to experience to believe.
Beyond the games, the lodge is a fully capable event venue for small receptions, private parties, milestone celebrations, and organizational meetings. The historic architecture gives any gathering an elevated feel without the elevated price tag of a hotel ballroom. Catering through the lodge kitchen has earned consistent praise from guests who weren't expecting much and left genuinely impressed.
Membership itself opens the door to community service opportunities, social events, and a network of Elks lodges across the country. Whether you're a veteran, a longtime Waterford resident, or someone new to the area looking for connection, the lodge welcomes inquiries from prospective members year-round.
