The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of the oldest and largest fraternal organizations in the country. Since it’s inception in 1868, the Order of Elks has grown to include nearly 1.2 million men and women in almost 2200 communities. We love our country and do not seek to impose different beliefs in place of personal commitments to God, Family, and Country, nor do we ask anyone to act in any manner contrary to the dictates of their conscience. We do not permit religious or political differences to intrude into our organization.

The first priority of the Bayville Elks is helping handicapped and special needs children. In addition, we participate and lead in all community functions. Among other charitable events, we support our veterans, our volunteer firefighters and first-aiders, as well as our police. Serving our community and our fellow man is not only our creed, it is our daily path through life!

The members of the Bayville Elks are all here with one thought in mind - to serve!

"Charity is the greatest of all virtues and it should ever rule in our hearts and in our minds".
