The Elks Fraternal Order was founded “To promote and practice the four cardinal virtues of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity; to promote the welfare, and enhance the happiness of it's members, to quicken the spirit of American patriotism and cultivate good fellowship.”

Lodge 1692 held their annual fundraiser Golf Tournament on September 10, 2022. A total of 72 players (18 teams) participated, playing in a Captain's Choice format. This event raised over $11,000 dollars! These dollars will be used to support Veterans and First Responders in our area. Examples include but are not limited to: Military Missions in Action, veteran centered construction renovations, service dog support, and Fayetteville Veterans Home.
