Bozeman Elks Lodge #463 was chartered in 1898 and we will be Celebrating 120 years of Service this year. 


We love our country and desire to preserve its cherished institutions, traditions, and values. We respect our neighbors and constantly seek to promote their well-being. We love and enjoy life and believe this enjoyment is increased by sharing it with family, friends and all with whom we connect.

 

Public service is an integral part of being an Elk.  In keeping with this tradition, Elks create and participate in many programs to better their communities.
