Lodge #1717 offers a full-service members bar stocked with a wide range of liquors, served in a relaxed, social atmosphere where regulars know your name. Members can bring guests, so the door is not entirely closed to newcomers curious about what the Elks are all about.
The event hall is one of the largest private venues in the Artesia area, available for member-organized banquets, fundraisers, celebrations, and civic gatherings. The combination of square footage, good lighting, and attentive staff makes it a go-to for local organizations that need a dependable, well-maintained space.
Beyond the physical venue, membership in the BPOE connects you to a national network of over 800,000 Elks, local scholarship programs, veterans outreach, and community service initiatives that put real dollars and real hours back into Artesia, NM and the surrounding region.
