About Us

A vintage piano adorned with festive decorations and sheet music.

On East Pine Avenue in El Dorado, Lodge #1407 has been doing something quietly remarkable: putting real money and real time back into the community it calls home. This past year alone, members contributed $8,000 in charitable donations to local organizations, plus sponsored the Hoop Shoot, Soccer Shoot, and KET programs that give area kids a chance to compete and grow.

Thursday nights, the hall fills up for bingo, and regulars will tell you the best part isn't the prizes. It's the room itself, a crowd of genuinely friendly faces who have been showing up week after week for years. The One Act Performers bring live entertainment to the stage, drawing audiences who come back every season for community dinners paired with theatrical shows you won't find anywhere else in Butler County.

With a perfect 5.0 rating across 22 reviews, the Lodge earns that score the old-fashioned way: through consistency, generosity, and a membership that actually shows up. If you've been looking for a place where your dues fund something tangible, this is it.

What We Offer

Thursday Bingo Nights are the heartbeat of the weekly calendar. Doors open, cards get distributed, and the room hums with the kind of easy camaraderie that only comes from showing up together over time. Win or lose, most regulars say they'd be back regardless.

Beyond bingo, the Lodge hosts community dinners paired with live theatrical performances by the One Act Performers, a local group that turns the hall into a genuine entertainment venue. Youth programs including the Hoop Shoot and Soccer Shoot give young athletes from the El Dorado area a competitive stage and scholarship opportunities backed by Elks national resources.

Membership opens the door to a full calendar of social events, a network of Elks lodges across the country, and the satisfaction of knowing your involvement directly funds local causes. The Lodge also participates in broader BPOE initiatives, connecting El Dorado members to one of the largest and oldest fraternal organizations in the United States.
