Chartered in 1908, the San Mateo Elks Lodge is a historical part of the community. The facility features many amenities including a dance floor, dining area and full bar. Members also have access to a gym, swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts, bowling alley, bingo and more. The space can be rented out for private events for up to 500 people including gourmet catering.
Eagles call their lodges "aeries," and this aerie is a comfortable hangout for members on the West Side. There's a bar, televisions, some games, and always a few friendly faces. Meetings are on the first and third Tuesdays of the month for ladies, and the first and third Thursdays for men.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles is far more than just a neighborhood lounge, however. The international non-profit promotes peace, prosperity, gladness and hope through its charitable giving and good works.
