From time to time the Watchung Hills Elks will work on events for Special Children, Homeless Veterans, Drug Awareness, Fund-Raising and other Community Services, sometimes at our location and other times at places like the Lyons VA.

Examples:

  • Homeless Veterans BBQ (Summer): you might be asked to help cook or serve meals, or simply sit and talk with the veterans
  • Soccer Shoot (Fall): Help run the Elks youth "Soccer Shoot" event
  • Hoop Shoot (Fall): Help run the Elks youth "Hoop Shoot" event
  • Camp Moore BBQ (Summer): Help run the NJ Elks Camp Moore barbecue for Special Children.
  • Fund-Raising (All Year): Help organize dinners which raise funds for Special Children, Veterans services and Charities.
  • Join one of our committees to help run our organization, from building & facility management, accounting, membership, public relations, charities - chances are high that we have a committee that needs you!
Ultimately, we are looking for new members to join the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, a non-political, non-sectarian and strictly American Fraternal Order, 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 its members; to quicken the spirit of American Patriotism and cultivate good fellowship."
