Des Plaines Elks Lodge #1526 awarded Illinois Elks ‘Lodge of the Year’ for 2023/2024
The Des Plaines Elks Lodge #1526, 495 Lee St., Des Plaines, was awarded the honor of Number One Lodge in the state of Illinois at the Elks annual state meeting in Springfield in May.
The Des Plaines Lodge beat out 64 other cities and 23,000 Illinois Elks where lodges are located across the state.
The coveted title is based on a point system accrued throughout the year from charitable donations, to meeting and event attendance, as well as community service.
In its 98 years in the city of Des Plaines, the lodge has never received this award — until now.
Stop by the Lodge and check out the amazing opportunities being a member has by helping your community and having fun doing it.
Thank you to our members and congratulations, city of Des Plaines.
