“Welcome to the B.P.O.E.Lodge #1010 Bristol,Ct. Our Officers/Members meet the first and third Thursdays of the month at 7:45 p.m., except for July/August on the first Thursday only. Please explore our many activities/community functions herein and participate fully, if you can. Plan a visit to our Lodge and meet the Best People On Earth, Bristol style! Elks Lodges bring so much more to their communities than just a building, golf course or pool. They are places where neighbors come together, families share meals, and children grow up. Elks invest in their communities through programs that help children grow up healthy and drug-free, by undertaking projects that address unmet need, and by honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans. To inculcate the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its Members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism; to cultivate good fellowship; to perpetuate itself as a fraternal organization, and to provide for its government, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America will serve the people and communities through benevolent programs, demonstrating that Care and Share.”
